S Korea lifts special travel alert for BD

South Korea yesterday lifted the special travel alert that it had issued for entire Bangladesh after the July 1 café attack, says its Ministry of Foreign Affairs, reports UNB. However, the nationals of South Korea, residing in or planning to visit Bangladesh, are advised to check the travel-alert levels for different parts of Bangladesh at its Foreign Ministry website on safe overseas travel and follow the guidelines. Although the special travel alert has been lifted, the travel-alert levels for the Chittagong Hill Tracts region and other parts of Bangladesh -- levels 3 (travel restricted) and 2 (highly cautious), respectively -- will be back in place, as the public security situation in those areas remains the same as before, said the South Korean Foreign Ministry.
