Seventeen persons have been arrested and about a dozen cases registered after Bangladesh witnessed about 35 untoward incidents related to the ongoing Durga Puja celebrations across the country this month, police said here.
The development comes a day after it was discovered that a hand-crafted golden mukut (crown) gifted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi was stolen from a Hindu temple in Bangladesh's southwestern Satkhira district amid Durga Puja celebrations, a theft over which India expressed concern.
The five-day Hindu religious festival began with an invocation of Goddess Durga, an occasion called Maha Shasthi on Wednesday. The celebrations would conclude with the immersion of Goddess Durga murtis on Sunday.
The minority Hindu population -- Hindus constitute just about 8 per cent of the 170 million Bangladesh population -- faced vandalism of their businesses, and properties and destruction of temples during the student-led violence that erupted following the ouster of Prime Minist

A leading academic institution in France has signed "specific agreements" with two IITs to foster a deeper exchange of knowledge between the two countries.
The agreements were signed during the visit of President and Director General of Ecole Polytechnique, Laura Chaubard, to India during October 7-11, the French Embassy said on Friday.
Ecole Polytechnique was founded in 1794 with the aim of providing the country with engineers trained to the highest level, it said in a statement.
"Today, it is a leading higher education institution globally, which combines high-level research, education and innovation at the cutting-edge of science and technology and promotes a culture of excellence, and upholds a long- standing humanist tradition," the embassy said.
Ecole Polytechnique has signed specific agreements with both IIT-Delhi and IIT-Bombay, the statement said.
During the official visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to France in July 2023 on the occasion of the French National Day, .

Florida residents slogged through flooded streets, gathered up scattered debris and assessed damage to their homes on Friday after Hurricane Milton smashed through coastal communities and spawned a barrage of deadly tornadoes.
At least 10 people were dead, and rescuers were still saving people from swollen rivers, but many expressed relief that Milton wasn't worse. The hurricane spared densely populated Tampa a direct hit, and the lethal storm surge that scientists feared never materialized.
Gov. Ron DeSantis warned people to not let down their guard, however, citing ongoing safety threats including downed power lines and standing water that could hide dangerous objects.
We're now in the period where you have fatalities that are preventable, DeSantis said. You have to make the proper decisions and know that there are hazards out there.
As of Friday night, the number of customers in Florida still without power had dropped to 1.9 million, according to poweroutage.us. St. Petersburg's

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Monday took a dig at the government and said the name of Uttar Pradesh governor's residence should be changed from Raj Bhavan to 'Seva Bhavan'.
Yadav posted on 'X' a 10-second video of some construction activities going on outside the Raj Bhawan and asked whether the work was being carried out with all approvals.
"It is hoped that the new construction of the Rajbhavan must have been started only after getting the map of the new construction approved with all the standards," the SP chief said in the post in Hindi.
"Until the construction is completed, Lucknow Development Authority or any other responsible department should display the map of this changed construction near the place where the construction is going on, for the public to see. So that the public gets inspired that every construction should be legal," he added.
Taking a jibe, he further said that the government should replace the word 'Raj' with the democratic word 'Seva', that is,

Brazil's federal government on Monday established a three-day deadline for power distributor Enel to restore service to more than 400,000 households in Sao Paulo's metropolitan area who remain in the dark, energy minister Alexandre Silveira said in a news conference.
The outage started Friday evening due to a short but powerful storm, and with the city's mayoral race in full swing, it sparked a blame game.
Candidate Guilherme Boulos and allies are accusing incumbent Mayor Ricardo Nunes of failing to take preventive action, while others, including Nunes, are calling for the country's regulating agency to punish Enel. The federal government, meanwhile, is launching an audit of the power regulator's inspections of the utility.
Silveira told reporters that he is in favor of terminating Enel's contract, due in 2028, but that would depend on due process. He added that the company "would not be so neglectful" if it faced the risk that its concession would be terminated.

More than 400,000 children in Lebanon have been displaced in the past three weeks, a top official with the U.N. children's agency said Monday, warning of a lost generation in the small country grappling with multiple crises and now in the middle of war.
Israel has escalated its campaign against the Lebanon-based Hezbollah militant group, including launching a ground invasion, after a year of exchanges of fire during its war with Hamas in Gaza.
The fighting in Lebanon has driven 1.2 million people from their homes, most of them fleeing to Beirut and elsewhere in the north over the past three weeks since the escalation.
Ted Chaiban, UNICEF's deputy executive director for humanitarian actions, has visited schools that have been turned into shelters to host displaced families.
What struck me is that this war is three weeks old and so many children have been affected, Chaiban told The Associated Press in Beirut.
As we sit here today, 1.2 million children are deprived of education. Thei
