The deceased was identified as— Mohamed Younus (alias) Saan Meah (33), Block-C, shed # 70 of unregistered Leda camp (Tal), he added.

Saan Meah accompanied by other refugee daily workers went to Tekanf land port for working that day in the morning. During the loading timbers at noon, a timber fell down on his head and was killed on the spot, Hussain Ahamed from Leda camp said.

Some Rohingya refugees from the unregistered Leda camp frequently go to Teknaf land port – near the refugee camp – for working for their family survival as they are still not registered as refugee by the concerned authority of Bangladesh and the UNHCR, Ahamed added.
