Is it possible to know the transactions in Bitcoin taking place in a particular country.

Not possible. Bitcoin transactions do not have IP addresses tagged on them. The IP address that you see on Blockchain.info is the IP of the node for which the transaction is first seen by Blockchain.info. This could be accurate if the node was directly connected to Blockchain.info but the probability of it not being the origin is even higher.

Bitcoin works in a way such that transactions are bounced off and relayed by nodes on the network and it is nearly impossible to trace the origin.

Nothing technical. It's simply impossible for you to try to filter out every single transaction in the network for such activities because there isn't any tell-tale signs.

The only thing you can do is for you to regulate exchange and have them implement AML/KYC policy.
