Several medical students from Bengal are at present keeping within the medical college campuses in Bangladesh and have received directives from the authorities to stay indoors unless there is a pressing need to venture outside. One of the students said his worried uncle went from Calcutta to pay him a visit on Sunday. He took admission at the medical college in July 2024, just before Sheikh Hassina was toppled. “The college authorities have asked us not to go out of the campus unless there is an urgent need. Belal Hossain, managing director, Effort Consultancy Pvt Ltd, an agency that handles foreign medical students, said the medical college authorities across Bangladesh have taken measures to keep the students safe.
