Hadisur's body reaches Dhaka

Earlier, Hadisur's body was scheduled to reach the country on Sunday night. But more than a hundred flights were canceled at Bucharest Airport last Saturday night due to heavy snowfall. The scheduled flight of Turkish Air carrying Hadisur's body was also canceled. Later, the flight carrying the body of Hadisur left Bucharest on Sunday night to reschedule.

According to airport sources, Turkish Airlines flight TK722 first arrived at Istanbul Airport from Bucharest. The flight left for Dhaka at 5:23 am Bangladesh time.

It is learned that the ship owned by Bangladesh Shipping Corporation (BSC) was being leased under the Danish company Delta Corporation. The ship sailed from Mumbai via Turkey to the Ukrainian port of Olvia on 22 February. The ship was scheduled to sail from Olvia to the Italian port of Ravenna on February 24 with cement clay.

But before the Ukraine-Russia war broke out, the ship with 29 crew members got stuck in the port of Olvia. Hadisur Rahman, the ship's third engineer, was killed in a rocket attack on Wednesday (March 2nd). However, the remaining 28 people on board were evacuated the next day on Thursday, the BSC said.

Then an international voluntary organization came forward to rescue Hadisur's body and the 28 surviving sailors. With their help, 28 sailors started their journey to Moldova from the bunker (shelter house) adjacent to the Ukrainian port of Olvia last Saturday (March 5) at noon Bangladesh time. The next day, on Sunday, March 6, at about 11 o'clock, they crossed the border into Ukraine and reached Romania via Moldova.

Last Wednesday (March 9), 28 sailors returned to Dhaka from Istanbul on a Turkish Air flight from Bucharest Airport in Romania.
