Most of the returnees are from Cox's Bazar, Narshingdi and Narayanganj districts of Bangladesh.
The Bangladesh Embassy in Myanmar said that due to the steadfast efforts of the Bangladesh Embassy in Yangon and the Bangladesh Consulate in Sittwe, it has become possible to send another batch of Bangladeshi nationals home to their families.
The Bangladesh Embassy in Myanmar actively pursued the coordinated return of 247 Bangladeshi nationals back home.
The last return took place on 23 April when 173 Bangladeshis returned home.
Representatives of the Bangladesh Embassy in Yangon and the Bangladesh Consulate, Sittwe, were physically present to coordinate with the local authorities, conduct the verification process and issue Travel Permits in favour of the returnees.
