Air India Evacuates 205 from Dhaka Amid Unrest
News summary

Air India successfully evacuated 205 individuals, including six infants, from Dhaka to New Delhi amid escalating political unrest in Bangladesh, where Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled the country following violent protests over a job quota system. The special chartered flight was operated on short notice despite infrastructure challenges at Dhaka airport. Air India will resume its scheduled operations with two daily flights from New Delhi to Dhaka, while Vistara and IndiGo also plan to continue their services after having canceled flights due to the unrest. The protests have resulted in significant turmoil, leading to the appointment of Nobel laureate Mohammad Yunus as the head of an interim government in Bangladesh. The ongoing situation has raised security concerns and prompted airlines to offer rescheduling waivers for affected passengers. Overall, the crisis has resulted in over 300 fatalities due to clashes between protesters and security forces.
