Eight Bangladeshi migrant workers have died in a road accident in Oman. The crash occurred around 3pm local time, on Wednesday when a microbus carrying the workers collided with a fish-loaded container truck, state-run Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS) reported. “Nine Bangladeshis, including the driver, were heading towards Dukum Sidra, about 650km from Muscat, in a microbus when the accident occurred,” Asadul Haque, first secretary (Labour) at the Bangladesh Embassy in Muscat told BSS. A representative from the Bangladesh Embassy has already reached the scene to provide “necessary” support. Asadul added that the embassy will take the steps to repatriate the bodies to Bangladesh in line with proper procedures.
