Bangladesh students demand end to government job quotas as protests escalate nationwide. Stay tuned for the latest updates! #BangladeshProtests #StudentShutdown

The recent Bangladesh quota protests have intensified as students vow to escalate their shutdown calls amidst escalating violence. The death toll, although based on police sources, remains uncertain as the government is yet to release official casualty figures. With at least six people killed in clashes, the situation is tense. Protesters have even set fire to a major broadcasting unit of Bangladesh TV in Dhaka, leading to the channel going off-air. Student demonstrators are now calling for a complete nationwide shutdown, urging an end to quotas for government jobs.

Amid the chaos, the Indian High Commission in Dhaka has advised Indian nationals to remain indoors, avoiding unnecessary travel. The unrest in Bangladesh has caused concern among foreign residents. Meanwhile, the crisis in India's neighboring country continues to escalate, with 19 reported deaths following violent clashes and protests. The nationwide turmoil has affected schools, universities, and public services, creating a state of unease and uncertainty.

The Bangladesh quota protests highlight deep-rooted issues within the government job quota system and the students' demands for reform. The violence has claimed a significant toll, with 32 people killed and hundreds injured in the ongoing protests. The continuous rallies by university students in various cities showcase the strong determination to bring about change in the existing system, leading to a widespread discussion on the necessity of reforms and the right to peaceful protest.
