Bangladesh verifying list of sea mishap survivors

The Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi is awaiting the results of verification of a list of survivors from the Andaman sea mishap,sent to Dhaka by the Indian Government. A senior High Commission official told The Indian Express from Delhi on Tuesday that the list of survivors,who are Bangladeshis according to statements recorded by Andaman police,is a detailed one.

“The Indian Government sent us a list of 66 names,with their interrogation details. We have forwarded the same to our government. At the moment,the names are being cross-checked by our government officials as to ascertain if they are indeed Bangla nationals. Once the survivors are confirmed as Bangladeshis,we will send a representative to arrange for their repatriation. We are expecting a reply from Dhaka any day,” the official said.
