An elderly couple from Bangladesh, visiting Tamil Nadu for cancer treatment, are stranded at Chennai airport after their return flight was cancelled due to civil unrest in their home country. The couple, facing communication difficulties, spent the night at the airport before airport authorities arranged temporary accommodation. IndiGo, the airline, cited political unrest as the reason for the cancellations and offered rebooking options.
The United States has ordered non-emergency personnel to leave Bangladesh following mass protests that led to the ousting of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The move comes after the US had previously warned citizens against traveling to Bangladesh due to concerns over civil unrest, crime, and terrorism.
The United States has issued a level four travel advisory for Bangladesh, urging its citizens to avoid the country due to ongoing civil unrest and violent clashes related to student protests against government job quotas. The advisory follows widespread demonstrations and a mounting death toll, prompting the US to authorize the voluntary departure of non-emergency personnel. Canada has also expressed deep concern over the escalating violence, calling for a peaceful resolution.
