The government will launch an ‘Expatriate Card’ for Bangladeshi migrant workers by the end of this month, State Minister for Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment and President of the Gono Odhikar Parishad Nurul Haque Nur said on Wednesday.

He made the remarks while addressing a discussion meeting titled “Expectations, Achievements and Future of the July Mass Uprising” as the chief guest at the Munshiganj Sadar Upazila Parishad auditorium in the afternoon. The programme was organised by the Munshiganj district unit of the Students’ Rights Council.

Nur said the ‘Expatriate Card’, which will be usable like an ATM card, will allow migrant workers to conduct banking transactions. The card will also enable them to access various government services when they return to Bangladesh.

He added that cardholders would receive priority in receiving treatment at government hospitals. The card would also play an important role in resolving various problems faced by expatriates while staying in the country.

Munshiganj-3 lawmaker Md Kamruzzaman Ratan attended the programme as the inaugural guest, while Bangladesh Students’ Rights Council President Nazmul Hasan was the main discussant. Gono Odhikar Parishad General Secretary Hasan Al Mamun and Munshiganj District Council Administrator AKM Iradat Manu were present as special guests.

Munshiganj District Students’ Rights Council President Mohammad Raju chaired the programme.

After the discussion, financial assistance and crests of honour were handed over to members of families of those killed during the July Mass Uprising.
