''Thus far, 778 Indian students have returned to India through various land ports. In addition, around 200 students have returned home by regular flight services through Dhaka and Chittagong airports,'' the Ministry of External Affairs said on Saturday.
Demonstrators are demanding the end of quotas for the families of those who fought in Bangladesh’s 1971 war of independence.
The advisory said in case of any emergency or need for assistance, the Indians in Bangladesh should reach out to the High Commission or the Assistant High Commissioners.
