Barisal Biman office locked for flights


Several hundred people under the banner of Barisal Bibhag Unnyan-O-Bastobyan Parishad, an association for development of Barisal division, yesterday locked the Biman office here demanding resumption of its Dhaka-Barisal flights.

They also formed a human chain and held a protest rally around the Biman office. Unnyan Parishad president Golam Mawla presided the rally.

Speakers demanded resumption of Biman flights by Saturday, otherwise they threatened a greater agitation if their demand is not fulfilled within the deadline.

When contacted, Biman station manager ATMG Mustafa said the flights were closed by its authorities on November 16.
