We have received excellent cooperation from the Bangladesh government. Our High Commission has arranged for their safe travel to border crossing points and airports. The helplines are working round the clock. We also feel that being a close neighbor with whom we have very warm and friendly relations, we hope that the situation will return to normal.
The situation in Bangladesh is slowly returning to normal after more than a week of violence. On Wednesday, internet use and office timings were restricted in the country. University students in Dhaka and other cities had demonstrated against the system of reserving public sector jobs for relatives of war heroes who fought for Bangladesh’s ‘Liberation War’ in 1971, which took a violent turn and left about 200 people dead. Internet was not restored in most parts of the country, although authorities relaxed the curfew for seven hours, during which thousands of vehicles were seen on the streets of the capital.
