Bangladesh court scraps most job quotas after deadly unrest

Bangladesh Violent Protest: Supreme Court Scales Back Job Quota That Sparked Deadly Violence

Bangladesh’s Supreme Court has ordered a significant reduction in the country’s controversial quota system for government jobs, following nationwide protests and violent clashes that have resulted in numerous casualties. The new ruling stipulates that 93% of government jobs will now be allocated based on merit, with the remaining 7% reserved for relatives of veterans from Bangladesh’s 1971 war of independence and other specific categories. Previously, 30% of these jobs were reserved for war veterans' relatives. #BangladeshProtests #StudentUnrest #DhakaLockdown #QuotaReform #BangladeshProtestsLIVE #BangladeshProtestsViolent #BangladeshJobQuota #BangladeshSupremeCourt #SheikhHasina #BangladeshProtestNews #BangladeshNews ~HT.97~PR.152~ED.194~
