Violence In Bangladesh Claims 101 Lives Amid Anti-Discrimination Protests

The death toll has surged to 101 following unprecedented violence in Bangladesh sparked by the anti-discrimination student movement.

What began as a call for quota reform has evolved into a significant push for governmental change.

The unrest intensified when protesters, participating in a non-cooperation campaign demanding the government’s resignation, clashed with government supporters.

Protesters have rejected Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s offer for dialogue, aiming to end the violence.

Amid rising tensions, the protesters have announced a March to Dhaka on Sunday, causing widespread concern among the public.

The government’s imposition of an indefinite curfew across Bangladesh, along with severe restrictions on mobile internet, underscores the gravity of the situation.

In response to the escalating violence, the government has declared a three-day general holiday from Monday to Wednesday to ensure public safety.

Recently, over 200 people have been killed in violent confrontations between police and student protesters.

The students demand the abolition of a controversial quota system that allocates 30% of government jobs to relatives of veterans from Bangladesh’s 1971 War of Independence.

Meanwhile, India has issued a travel advisory for its nationals in Bangladesh, urging them to exercise extreme caution and limit their movements.

The Assistant High Commission of India in Sylhet advised all Indian nationals, including students, to stay alert and remain in contact with the office.

Taking to X, the Assistant High Commission posted that in emergencies, they can reach out at +88-01313076402.
