In compiling this weekly news update, BEI has attempted to include the most relevant stories from the past week related to the South Asian Region. Occasionally, news from beyond South Asia will also be included if it is found to be of relevance to issues to the region. We recognize that some developments may have been overlooked, and that some sources may not be viewed by all as credible or balanced. Inclusion of a news story and its summary does not constitute any kind of endorsement or position taken by BEI, and all the above text is entirely extracted from various news articles published in the print media of various countries in South Asia and beyond. If you have any comments or feedback for us regarding this digest, please email us at bei@bol-online.com. For more information about BEI and our work, please visit https://www.beibd.org/
