The Daily Guardian
|July 19, 2024
The quota stir in Bangladesh, which began on July 1 following the High Court’s reinstatement of the freedom fighters’ quota, reserving one-third of civil service posts for their descendants, has escalated into violent clashes.
-
The death toll climbed to 19 and thousands were reported injured.
Thousands of students, armed with sticks and rocks, have faced off against armed police in cities across Bangladesh, including Dhaka, Chattogram, Rangpur, and Cumilla.
Here are five points that show how the students’ agitation has snowballed to a violent crisis in India’s immediate neighbourhood. India, among other countries, has issued a travel advisory for its citizens, as violence spiralled.
With the situation rapidly deteriorating, in the capital city of Dhaka at least six people died in clashes with police on Thursday, taking the overall toll to 19, according to a Daily Star report.
On Thursday evening, two people were killed and 50 others injured in clashes in the Bahaddarhat area of Chattogram, according to a Daily Star report.
