The Bangladesh nationals reside in the area of Paris where multiple terror attacks killed so many innocent people are unhurt. “I came to know from the community that some Bangladeshi people reside in the area of the occurrence. But they are all safe,” an official at the Bangladesh Embassy in Paris said quoting the information received from one of them - Dibbyo Roy, reports UNB. Roy runs a Bangladeshi restaurant close to Bataclan concert hall, according to a message obtained by the news agency from Paris. TM Reza, a Bangladeshi social worker, who was present at the stadium when bomb blasts took place, has also said there is no news of casualty among Bangladeshi community. The official advised to contact T M Reza (+33 6 51 36 02 22), Wahid Var Taher (+33614497095), and Dibbyo Roy (+33 652265440) for further information.
