Jas Bahadur Gurung, a Nepali student of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University or BSMMU, told bdnews24.com at the programme: “We extend our sympathy to the families who lost their members in the plane crash. We are deeply sorry for the deaths.” Dhaka Medical College student Omar Dwip Chowdhury from Nepal said, “We pray for the peace of the departed souls.”
