MP Mohammad Kamal Hossain said that 34 MPs, 74 people including their family members, and other passengers arrived in Dhaka around 9 am on Thursday. After completing immigration, when they went to collect their luggage, they faced a trolley shortage. Later, although they received their luggage, they had to wait about two and a half hours for the Zamzam water.

He said that when they contacted Biman's station manager, they were informed that the water luggage had not been loaded onto the plane. Later, after about three hours, they left the airport after submitting a written complaint. He also said that Biman authorities assured them of delivering the Zamzam water to their homes.
