07 Aug Update on the Situation in Bangladesh: Escalating Unrest and Operational Adjustments

Recent Developments

The political unrest in Bangladesh continues to escalate. The situation is worsening, with no police or army officers available on the streets for protection. Protests are becoming increasingly violent, with reports of gunfire in various areas. Despite this, trucking services will resume from tomorrow Aug 8, though they will operate at their own risk. This is intended to allow logistics operations to continue more smoothly.

Businesses have the option to resume operations from tomorrow, but this will be at their own risk due to the ongoing chaos. The safety of individuals remains the highest priority, and we will keep you updated on new guidelines as the situation evolves. An interim Prime Minister has not yet been elected, adding to the uncertainty.

Port Operations: Port operations have resumed but are experiencing massive congestion.

Trucking Services: Trucking services will resume from tomorrow, although they will operate at their own risk. This will help alleviate some of the logistical challenges, but the safety of personnel is paramount.
