34 citizens including Myanmar’s soldiers and BGP who fled to Bangladesh due to the conflict in Rakhine State are being sent back to their homeland. The Cox’s Bazar District Administration, BGB and the airport authority said that they are being sent back on a special Myanmar flight from Cox’s Bazar Airport that day.

BGB’s Cox’s Bazar Region Commander Brigadier General MM Imrul Hasan said around 8:30 pm on Monday that 34 BGPs and soldiers, including civilians, had fled to different points of the border due to the conflict in Rakhine State of Myanmar at different times and had taken refuge. They are in the custody of BGB. A Myanmar plane will arrive at Cox’s Bazar Airport on Wednesday to pick them up. He said that their handover process will be carried out there.

Cox’s Bazar Airport Director Md. Golam Mortuza Hossain said that 34 Myanmar citizens will return on Wednesday. A special Myanmar plane is scheduled to land at Cox’s Bazar Airport to take them. Since there is no passenger transport system in Cox’s Bazar with the outside world, Bangladesh Biman authorities have taken special measures to send these Myanmar citizens back. In light of this system, officials and employees at the relevant levels are being brought to Cox’s Bazar. Arrangements will be made to send the Myanmar citizens back after completing immigration procedures on that day.

Additional District Magistrate Imran Hossain Sajeeb said that the BGB has already given a list of 34 Myanmar people to be sent back. The relevant office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been instructed to take measures to carry out local administrative procedures for sending them back. Accordingly, the administration is moving ahead with preparations. The Myanmar junta government had taken back 752 more people who had fled in three phases to their home country. And 214 Bangladeshis have returned after serving their sentences in that country
