PM undergoes eye surgery in London

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina underwent a surgery in her left eye at a London hospital on Monday, PM’s Press Secretary Ihsanul Karim told the news agency from the British capital.

Sheikh Hasina, he said, is doing well after the surgery.

Ihsanul said the prime minister had digitally cleared a number of urgent files from London. He said the PM is also monitoring Bangladesh’s flood situation round-the-clock and giving necessary directives to the ministers and officials concerned.

Hasina went to London on July 19 to attend a conference of Bangladeshi envoys in Europe and other programmes. She is expected to return home on August 5.
