Five hajj flights of Bangladesh Biman were cancelled between Sunday night and Monday evening causing a pandemonium in the airport as Biman employees were scrambling to reschedule the flights of several hundred stranded pilgrims.
In the meantime a pilgrim, Sujat Ali, whose flight had been delayed, had a heart attack and died at the airport. Other pilgrims, who were scheduled to fly with him, said the elderly man fell sick while waiting anxiously at Zia International Airport to catch his rescheduled flight.
Zahurul Alam has more on the story.
