India Issues Travel Advisory For Bangladesh Amid Escalating Violence

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has strongly advised Indian citizens to avoid travel to Bangladesh until further notice due to escalating violence in the country.

On Sunday night, the Indian government issued a warning to its nationals residing in Bangladesh, urging them to exercise extreme caution and limit their movements in response to the renewed violence.

Reports from Dhaka indicate that at least 90 individuals, including 14 police officers, lost their lives on Sunday during intense clashes between security forces and anti-government protesters across various regions of Bangladesh.
