PM Hasina lands home amid warm welcome

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina arrived in Dhaka this evening, back from a two-week tour abroad, amid warm welcome from thousands of supporters and followers.

Landing at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport around 6:45pm, PM Hasina reached Gono Bhaban around 7:30pm through flanks of supporters who stood on the road to welcome her.

Thousands of leaders and activists of Awami League and members of its 14-party alliance were ready on the streets of Dhaka to greet Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

Political activists were seen standing on both sides of the road carrying welcome placards and party flags from airport to Gono Bhaban waiting to cheer her back home.

The 14-party supporters were also seen marching towards the airport on different modes of vehicles including bus and motorbike – chanting slogans on loudspeakers. 

However, due to the mass reception arrangement, traffic was choked out through Airport and Mirpur roads causing gridlocks and sufferings for commuters.
