The Bangladesh national football team, who were supposed to leave Nepal on Tuesday, stayed back at the Crowne Imperial hotel in Kathmandu due to ongoing political unrest that forced the closure of the Tribhuvan International Airport.
Bangladesh were supposed to take the flight at 3:00pm after their second and final FIFA friendly against Nepal was called off following Monday鈥檚 deadly protests against a government that claimed at least 19 lives.
Bangladesh were originally scheduled to return home on Wednesday after their second friendly match, which was scheduled to be played at the Dasharath Stadium in Kathmandu on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the Embassy of Bangladesh in Kathmandu, in an urgent notice, advised all the Bangladeshi nationals who are currently living or stuck in Nepal not to move outside and to stay at their respective places or hotels.
All Bangladeshi inbound passengers to Nepal were also advised not to fly to Nepal owing to prevailing security situations, said the notice.
