Oman's decision to suspend air communication with Bangladesh is likely to jeopardise the return of about 20,000 to 25,000 Bangladeshi migrant workers to the Gulf country, according to Oikya Parishad.
The migrant workers have come to Bangladesh on vacation, Oikya Parishad, a platform of recruiting agencies, said yesterday.
Besides, the decision will also delay the process of about 5,000 to 7,000 Omani employment visas obtained by different recruiting agencies at present, it said.
M Tipu Sultan, president of the platform, said many of the migrant workers have a few days of their vacations left while many others have issues related to iqama expiry.
