Bus, train and metro services have come to a halt in Bangladesh. To prevent violence from increasing, the government has shut down mobile internet. Along with schools and colleges, madrassas have also been closed indefinitely. The army has been deployed across the country. Many companies have instructed their employees to work from home. For now, you can see from some pictures how the situation in Bangladesh has gone out of control.
Youth protesting in Bangladesh
The anti-reservation movement in Bangladesh has taken a violent turn. Violent movements have shaken the police, administration and the entire government for the last 15 days. The youth of Bangladesh are neither listening to the police nor obeying the law, nor are they being affected by the faith of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in justice. Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, remains the epicentre of the protests. In view of the violent movement, curfew has been imposed in the entire country. This was announced by the government of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
The nationwide movement against reservation is continuously gaining momentum. So far at least 39 people have died in different parts of Bangladesh. 2500 people have been injured. Violent clashes between protesters and police are being witnessed in every city. It seems that the situation has gone out of control. In many cities, protesters are roaming the streets with sticks, rods and stones.
Buses and vehicles are being set on fire. Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina recently addressed the nation on the government national television. She appealed to maintain peace, but this too had no effect. It is being told that after this the protesters became more angry. They attacked the government television office and burnt it down. When the protesters set the government television office on fire, about 1200 employees along with many journalists were present there. The police-administration somehow saved them after a lot of effort.
