Bangladesh Expatriate Rights Council has demanded that the air fare be reduced for the expatriates flying to the Middle-Eastern countries with jobs.
The council submitted a three-point demand to the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh, said a release issued by the council on Sunday.
The immigration expenses have been increasing rapidly in accordance with the air fare hike adding to the plight of the expatriates.
The council also demanded that the number of flights to the Middle-East be increased. It said that a regulatory board should be set up to control the air fare hike.
For the last one month, the expatriates have been facing many problems due to the air fare surge for those travelling to the Middle East.
Meanwhile, the council also placed a 10-point demand to ensure the rights of the 1.20 crore Bangladeshi expatriates working in different countries of the world for their livelihood.
