No personnel from foreign missions are currently staying inside the army cantonments, according to a press release of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

At the Indian High Commission's request, only civilians were given shelter in cantonments, including Dhaka. Besides, some members staying in their respective consulate buildings and different hotels were given security.

The press release also says that several Russian experts working at the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant were given security.  At least 615 individuals have willingly left the cantonment areas on Sunday morning, ISPR note.

The 626 individuals, including political figures and members of law enforcers, sought refuge at cantonments on 5 August, fearing for their lives. The release added that as the law and order situation worsened in the absence of the police and other law enforcement agencies after the fall of  Sheikh Hasina, various foreign missions based in Bangladesh sought security assistance from the army.

The ISPR release said a significant number of army personnel were deployed to provide security to diplomatic areas and embassies located in Dhaka, and the deployment is still ongoing. At present, no person from foreign missions is staying inside the cantonments, it added. The release also urged people to remain patient and not pay heed to any kind of rumours.
