Five expatriates from Sylhet’s Kanaighat upazila, who died in a road accident in Qatar’s Shahaniya area, were buried in their family graveyards after a collective funeral on Tuesday afternoon. The funeral took place at Akuni Madrasa field, attended by thousands of locals. Their bodies had arrived earlier that morning at Sylhet MAG Osmani International Airport, where officials from the district administration and the Ministry of Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment formally handed them over to relatives.
The bodies were flown from Qatar’s Hamad International Airport on Monday night with financial support from the Bangladesh Wage Earners’ Welfare Board. The deceased were identified as Abdul Kadir, Mustak Ahmed Afnan, Zubair Ahmed, Jasim Uddin, and Jibal Ahmed. Local lawmaker Mufti Maulana Abul Hasan and community representatives attended the funeral. The Welfare Board provided each family with an initial grant of Tk 35,000 for burial expenses and promised an additional Tk 300,000 in compensation.
The ministry confirmed that necessary steps were taken to ensure the families received the bodies and their entitled government assistance following the June 21 accident that killed six people, including the five Bangladeshis.
