A central laboratory equipped with the latest technologies will analyse food samples, to make sure safe and quality food is offered to pilgrims
Two incidents of bird strikes have occurred at the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka, but no casualties have been reported.
A flight of the national flag-carrier Biman Bangladesh Airlines on the Dhaka-Bangkok route aborted take-off as a bird strike caused one of its tyres to burst on Saturday.
Passengers of the plane had to disembark in the taxiway, a senior pilot of the national flag carrier told the Daily Star, a leading local newspaper.
Later, the authorities made alternative arrangements for the passengers to travel to Bangkok.
In the second case, according to the report, a Fly Dubai flight abandoned take-off after a bird strike on its left engine damaged three propeller blades.
As the plane had to be halted in its final phase of take-off, two wheels also melted, the leading local daily reported quoting unnamed sources.
Earlier in December last year, a Dreamliner aircraft of Biman was reportedly damaged when a bird hit the engine of the aircraft during landing at the same airport.
