Flight to Guwahati diverted to Dhaka due to fog, causes 12-hour delay

IndiaTimes Saturday, 13 January 2024
A Guwahati-bound IndiGo flight from Mumbai had to be diverted to Dhaka early Saturday after thick fog obstructed midnight landing attempts, first in Guwahati and then in Kolkata, officials said. The diversion led to a delay of nearly 12 hours, six of which were spent by the 178 passengers inside the plane at the Dhaka airport. The flight (6E-5319) touched down in Dhaka at 4 am. It was initially scheduled to land in Guwahati at 12:15 am on Saturday but did so only after 11 am.

Bangladesh Tensions: Police Use Tear Gas on Hindus; India Concerned Over ISKCON Monk’s Arrest

Tensions flare in Bangladesh as police used tear gas to disperse a large group of Hindu protesters in Dhaka and Chittagong, following the arrest of Chinmoy Krishna Das, a prominent ISKCON monk. Das, arrested on sedition charges and accused of disrespecting the national flag, has sparked nationwide protests among his supporters. The unrest intensified after a court denied bail, resulting in clashes with security forces. India expressed grave concern over the safety of Hindus and minorities in Bangladesh, highlighting multiple recent attacks on the community.
