Agartala, August 6: The Indian nationals, who had been staying in Bangladesh, have started to leave the trouble-hit country a day after Military rule was announced, on Monday. With tension running high and reports of attacks on the houses of Hindu minorities, Awami league leaders and government establishments coming thick and fast, Indians who crossed over through Akhaura, said that they haven’t faced any major difficulties in reaching the borders.
Nikhil Tiwari, who had been associated with road construction work in Bangladesh, told The Assam Tribune that the situation has substantially improved in comparison to what it was on Monday. “None of us ventured out yesterday. Today, everything has slowed down. Based on the instructions from higher authorities, we returned home,” Tiwari added.
