Around 100 people, including a Hindu councillor, were killed in Bangladesh on August 4 in violent clashes. Homes and temples, including ISKCON and Kali temples, were attacked. Protesters demanding Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation clashed with her supporters. The government imposed an indefinite curfew and cut off internet access. Essential services remain available. The violence began last month over a controversial quota system and escalated. India has advised its citizens to avoid travel to Bangladesh and urged those there to be cautious.
