Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment Minister Ariful Haque Chowdhury announced a plan to send workers from helpless families abroad without charge, including medical examinations, airfares and other expenses. Speaking as chief guest at a safe migration meeting organized by the Sunamganj district administration on Tuesday afternoon, he said Prime Minister Tarique Rahman had instructed the ministry to pursue the initiative. He said the Malaysian government had gifted 10,000 visas to the prime minister.
The minister said young people from the area have died while attempting to reach Europe through Libya and sea routes. He said families of those killed would also be able to send skilled workers abroad without cost. He urged prospective migrants to use legal routes rather than illegal channels and said a district training centre would open soon to develop young workers’ skills.
Chowdhury also said five language-learning centres would be opened in the district’s five electoral areas. While permanent infrastructure, tenders and funding may take time, he said training would begin in unused buildings, schools or madrasas through teacher appointments. He asked for data on broker networks within one week and said action would be taken even against brokers living abroad.
