India Warns Bangladesh Over Diplomatic Mission Safety
India has told Bangladesh that if any Indian worker in their country gets hurt, there will be big problems.
This is because there have been protests and people shouting against India in Bangladesh.
India has six offices there, and they have told all Indian families to leave because it's not safe.
Soldiers from both countries are guarding these offices.
Once, a big crowd almost reached the Indian office in the capital, but the guards stopped them.
India is now very serious about keeping their workers safe and has told Bangladesh to make sure nothing bad happens.
India warns Bangladesh of serious consequences if any Indian diplomatic personnel are harmed.
All Indian missions in Bangladesh declared 'non-family stations' due to security concerns.
Family members of Indian officials are being evacuated and will complete the process in 1-2 days.
Security of Indian missions intensified with Indian paramilitary forces and Bangladesh security forces deployed.
A recent incident saw a mob reach the last barricade of the High Commission in Dhaka, but they were stopped by security personnel.
