Bangladesh crisis: In light of the ongoing situation in neighbouring Bangladesh, Air India has announced a one-time waiver on rescheduling fees for confirmed tickets on flights to and from Dhaka between August 4 and August 7. Additionally, the operator said that it would operate its evening flights on the Delhi-Dhaka-Delhi sector. 

Bangladesh plunged into uncertainty as unprecedented street protests over job quotas led to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation and escape from the country. The violence which started with the protest demanding to scrap the quota for the descendant of the 1971 war veterans has so far claimed over 300 lives.
