58 More British Citizens to Leave Dhaka Today

Fifty-eight more Bangladesh-origin British citizens will leave Dhaka for Manchester, England on Sunday.

A special flight of Novoair Airlines brought the 58 British citizens to Dhaka from Sylhet at 9am, said an official of Novoair.

These British citizens are scheduled to leave Dhaka for England by a chartered flight of Biman Bangladesh Airlines.

Over 1,800 British nationals have left Bangladesh for the UK by nine chartered flights from April 21 to May 7.

The UK government committed up to £75 million to help thousands of British people return home, according to the British High Commission in Dhaka.

The British High Commission here remains fully operational and ''we will continue to provide full consular support to British nationals in Bangladesh.''
