Expatriates Minister Nurul Islam inaugurated the service yesterday at Dhaka’s Prabasi Kallyan Bhaban in the presence of Bangladeshi 41 labour attaché from 27 embassies. The service was initiated by Wage Earners Welfare Board with technical assistance from the Access to Information (a2i) project. It has been named ‘Prabashbondhu Call centre’ (Foreign Friends Call Centre) and initially launched for expatriates living in three countries – Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and Jordan – as a pilot project. “From now onwards, Bangladeshi expatriates living in three countries can avail services swiftly with the help of this call centre and gradually this service will be provided to expatriates living in other countries,” Nurul Islam said. Otherwise the complaint or the query will be forwarded to a senior official of the Expatriates Ministry automatically.
