Hadisur’s body reaches Dhaka
PBC News: The body of engineer Md Hadisur Rahman, who was killed in a rocket attack on the Bangladesh Shipping Corporation (BSC) vessel stranded at a Ukraine port, arrived in Dhaka on Monday.
A Turkish Airlines flight landed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport with the body at about 12:05 pm, the airport executive director Captain ATM Touhidul Ahsan confirmed.

The body was supposed to arrive on Sunday but the flights was canceled due to heavy snowfall in Istanbul, the capital of Turkey.
Hadisur’s body would be taken to his village home in Barguna for burial.
Earlier on March 9, the 28 surviving crew members of Bangladeshi ship ‘Banglar Samriddhi’, who were stranded in war-torn Ukraine, arrived in Dhaka. They went from Ukraine to Moldova to reach Bucharest, from where they flew to Dhaka.
The Bangladesh Shipping Corporation (BSC) ship had been stranded at Olvia port in Ukraine since February 23, following Russia’s invasion of its eastern European neighbour.
Hadisur, third engineer of the ship, was killed in a rocket attack on the vessel on March 3.
The ship had since then been declared abandoned.
