Friday, 19 July 2024 () By Kamran Reza Chowdhury and Ahammad Foyez
Bangladesh’s government declared a curfew and will deploy the army nationwide to restore order, the home minister said Friday, as authorities struggled to end days of chaotic protests sparked by a divisive quota system for government jobs.
Protesting students in Bangladesh set the country's state broadcaster ablaze on Thursday, a day after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina appeared on the network seeking to calm the escalating clashes that have killed at least 32 people and left over 2,500 injured. University students in Dhaka and other cities have been holding rallies for more than a week protesting the system of reservation in public sector jobs, including that for the relatives of war heroes, who fought for the country's independence from Pakistan in 1971.

Demonstrators demand the abolition of a 30% job quota for freedom fighters' families, driven by high youth unemployment. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina promises an investigation into the deaths and urges patience until a Supreme Court hearing on August 7. T
