Bangladesh, Aug. 8 -- Passengers of a Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight from Toronto to Dhaka have been left stranded in Rome after a technical fault forced the aircraft to make an emergency landing there.

The airline said on Saturday that an engineering team and spare parts were being sent from Dhaka to repair the aircraft, while passengers complained of hardship during the wait.

The passengers were travelling on flight BG-306, which was forced to remain at Rome's Fiumicino Airport after developing a technical glitch.

Passengers alleged that Biman had arranged hotel accommodation only for those holding Canadian and US passports, while the rest were kept at a lounge called Prima Vista.

Some passengers also said they felt unwell.
