General elections will be held Oct. 1, and because of the country’s history of violence before and during elections, some 60,000 additional security personnel will be deployed throughout the country to maintain order. Significant violence, including some 40 deaths, has occurred around the country in clashes between the two major political parties since the government was dissolved July 15. Consider deferring travel here until the election and its aftermath have concluded.

Banditry has increased dramatically in recent weeks on the roads between Dhaka and Aricha, Dhaka and Barisal, and Barisal and Banaripari. Several overnight buses have been held up either by bandits posing as passengers or gangs blocking roads. Avoid overnight bus travel.
