PM Modi interacts with IAF’s Shubhanshu Shukla; First Indian aboard ISS for 14-day space mission
At least 100 people, including 14 police officers, were killed and hundreds wounded as a fresh wave of violence swept across Bangladesh. Sunday's violence took the total number of people killed since protests began in early July to at least 300, according to reports.
The clashes broke out on Sunday morning between protesters demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and supporters of the ruling party across various regions of Bangladesh. The intensity of the confrontations has forced authorities to take drastic measures, including cutting off mobile internet services and imposing a nationwide curfew for an indefinite period.
The Central government has "strongly advised" Indian nationals against traveling to Bangladesh till further notice and Indian authorities in Bangladesh asked citizens to "remain alert" because of the volatile situation. During the protests, clashes erupted between the police and the students, with security forces firing tear gas shells and stun grenades to disperse the violent mob.
