“Biman staff beats up passenger,” published on June 25, 2014

How could a staff hit a lady with an iron chair at the Biman office?!

This Biman staffs are not even capable of working at the footpath tea stalls. Biman should also be forced to pay compensation for the injured lady passenger's treatment.

Beating up a customer and, that, too, a woman, takes Biman's customer service to a new level. “We offer you blood, sweat and tears commitment” should be the next advertising slogan for Biman (with a small footnote saying “yours” not ours!). The customer may well have been awkward, angry and difficult, but nothing justifies beating her up! Violence is the 'one and only mantra' in BD these days!

Because of their lousy service, I have stopped flying Biman many years ago. Nothing can justify what its staff did to a passenger. For employees like these, Biman is losing passengers.

We know that officials of Biman are corrupt, but we didn't know they are terrorists, too.

This is the last thing an airlines passenger would ever expect: getting beaten up by an airlines staff. I have flown at least half a million miles in about 35/40 sessions and have witnessed rude behaviours by the passengers towards the crew members on several occasions, but never did I witness or even hear about any airlines staff bullying a passenger, let alone beating up.

What a beautiful service Biman is giving! No wonder it is running at a loss.

Very timely proposal of forming a scientific committee! But, kindly make sure that it doesn't turn into a bureaucratic committee. Apart from a number of chemists, the committee should include the representatives from Science Laboratory, Institute of Public Health, BSTI and scientists concerned at the field of agriculture.
