Bangladesh Unrest: Death Toll Nears 1,000

Following the collapse of Sheikh Hasina's government and the ensuing violence in Bangladesh, India has evacuated non-essential staff and their families from its embassy and consulates, bringing back over 200 people on a special Air India flight. Despite the turmoil, senior diplomats remain in Dhaka to maintain the embassy's operations. The violence has resulted in nearly 1,000 deaths, including targeted attacks on minorities and properties associated with the Awami League. In India, protests have erupted demanding protection for Hindus in Bangladesh, with calls for the removal of Bangladeshi and Rohingya settlers. Assam's Chief Minister expressed concerns over the potential impact on northeastern India, fearing an influx of insurgents and illegal immigrants.
