In a recent development, India has issued a strong travel advisory in response to escalating violence in Bangladesh. The advisory, released on the night of August 4, 2024, advises Indian nationals currently residing in Bangladesh to exercise “extreme caution” and limit their movements due to ongoing unrest in the neighboring country.

The situation in Bangladesh has deteriorated following a series of deadly clashes and widespread protests. On August 4, demonstrators in Dhaka took to the streets demanding justice for the victims of the recent violence. The unrest has raised significant concerns about the safety of foreign nationals in the region.

In light of these developments, the Indian government has not only urged its citizens already in Bangladesh to be vigilant but has also recommended that no further travel to the country should be undertaken until the situation stabilizes. This precautionary measure reflects the seriousness of the situation and the need to ensure the safety of Indian nationals abroad.

For those currently in Bangladesh, the Indian embassy has advised maintaining a low profile and staying updated with local news and advisories. Travelers and expatriates are encouraged to follow guidance from local authorities and to avoid areas with large gatherings or demonstrations.

The advisory underscores India’s commitment to the safety of its citizens and highlights the importance of staying informed during times of international tension. The Indian government will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates as necessary.
