The Indian High Commission in Dhaka has issued an urgent advisory for Indian citizens and students to avoid non-essential travel and minimize movement due to escalating unrest in Bangladesh. Violent clashes between students and police in Dhaka erupted after the government's decision to close all universities, stemming from protests over the quota system for civil service jobs. Tear gas was deployed, and several roads were blocked, leading to traffic disruptions and injuries. Emergency contact numbers have been established for Indians needing assistance.
