Gaffar Chy's body to arrive in city on Saturday

The body of prominent writer and columnist Abdul Gaffar Chowdhury will arrive in the city on Saturday, reports UNB.
Departing from London's Heathrow Airport, a flight of Biman Bangladesh Airlines carrying Gaffar Chowdhury's body will arrive at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at Saturday noon, said Bangladesh High Commissioner to the UK Saida Muna Tasneem.
The Bangladesh High Commission in London has already completed the process of sending the body to Bangladesh under full state management at the directive of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, she said.
Abdul Gaffar Chowdhury came to London in 1974 for the treatment of his wife with the overall support of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
As per Gaffar Chowdhury's wish, he will be buried beside his wife at Mirpur Martyred Intellec-tuals' Graveyard. Arrange-ments have also been made to send Gaffar Chowd-hury's family members to Dhaka by the same flight.
