Namaj-e-Janaza for those ill-fated passengers, who died in the US-Bangla flight plane crash in Kathmandu on March 12, will be held on the premises of Bangladesh High Commission in Nepal Monday morning.
“The bodies of the identified passengers will be sent to the Bangladesh high commission Monday morning, where a Namaj-e-Janaza will be held,” US-Bangla Airlines Chief Executive Officer Imran Asif told reporters at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital in Nepal.
“The bodies will be sent to Dhaka by a Bangladesh Air Force flight following the Namaj-e-Janaza,” he added.
Imran advised relatives of the deceased to contact the US-Bangla Airlines authorities with their respective passports if they want to return home from Nepal on Monday.
The Bangladesh high commission will hold a briefing regarding the arrangement on Sunday at 6pm.
