Violent student protests in Bangladesh against government job quotas have led to nearly two dozen deaths and severe disruptions in telecommunications and internet services. The protests, fueled by economic challenges, have triggered clashes between demonstrators and security forces, resulting in fatalities and injuries across the country. Government buildings have been torched, and authorities have resorted to measures like calling in the army and imposing internet shutdowns to control the situation. The unrest has reignited historical political tensions from Bangladesh's independence era, exposing deep divisions within the society. Police have banned public gatherings, and the situation remains volatile and critical, with escalating violence and uncertainties about the actual death toll.
