Who will take care of them?
On the way to my office I saw thousands of people in the queue outside Sonargaon Hotel. They have to stand on the footpath throughout the day under direct sunlight or rain. Sometimes they get their tickets okayed and sometimes they have to come on the following day. They are working in Saudi Arabia, they are not very literate but they might be skilled workers. They are earning foreign currency for our country. They have to sacrifice their family life year after year for the same.
I think they have no other choice but to travel by a particular airline because they are working in Saudi Arabia. According to them, there is adequate space in the airline counters but only three-four staffs are deployed to handle the queue of thousands of people.
I hope the government will take the necessary steps to reduce their sufferings.
