‘Do Not Travel’: Bangladesh Protests Turn Violent, U.S Urges Citizens to Reconsider Travel Plans

The United States has escalated its travel advisory for Bangladesh to Level 4 — "Do Not Travel" — amid escalating civil unrest and violence that has rocked the South Asian nation. The advisory, issued by the US Department of State, advises American citizens to avoid travel to Bangladesh due to ongoing unrest, crime, and terrorism concerns. The advisory also authorises the voluntary departure of non-emergency US government employees and their families from Bangladesh, reflecting the gravity of the situation on the ground. This recommendation comes in the wake of severe clashes over government job allocations, which have resulted in over 40 deaths and hundreds of injuries. #BangladeshProtests #StudentUnrest #DhakaLockdown #QuotaReform #BangladeshProtestsLIVE #BangladeshProtestsViolent #USTravelAdvisory #TravelAdvisoryBangladesh #BangladeshProtestNews #BangladeshNews
