Human chain by pilgrims

Hajj pilgrims who paid the money to their agent Abdul Mazid Salim formed a human chain in front of Pabna deputy commissioner's office at about 4:00 pm yesterday demanding steps to ensure their pilgrimage. Salim was murdered allegedly by his business partners on Tuesday. “We want to visit the holy place in Saudi Arabia this year. We don't know whether we shall be alive next year. We have paid our entire savings to Salim for the Hajj. But the killing of our agent has made our Hajj plan uncertain," said a victim. Please take urgent steps so that we can go to Hajj, said another pilgrim. They also submitted a memorandum to the deputy commissioner (DC) of Pabna. Contacted, DC Md Mostafizur Rahman said that the memorandum was faxed to the ministry of religious affairs.
