India Evacuates Non-Essential Staff from Bangladesh Amid Unrest

India has evacuated non-essential embassy staff and their families from Bangladesh after unrest led to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation and departure. Indian diplomats remain, and all missions are operational. India has missions in Dhaka, Chittagong, Rajshahi, Khulna, and Sylhet.

India has evacuated all non-essential staff and their families from its embassy and consulates in neighbouring Bangladesh, two Indian government sources said on Wednesday. This decision follows weeks of unrest that forced Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to resign and flee.

Despite these evacuations, all Indian diplomats are remaining at their posts in Bangladesh, ensuring that the missions are fully operational, the sources added.

India operates its high commission in Dhaka and has assistant high commissions in Chittagong, Rajshahi, Khulna, and Sylhet.
