Urgent action in Bangladesh as rising death toll sparks curfew and military deployment. What's next for the escalating protests?

The government of Bangladesh faces a mounting death toll and widespread unrest as protests and dissent rock the nation. In response to the escalating crisis, authorities have decided to impose a nationwide curfew and deploy the army to maintain order. The move comes after violent clashes between protesters and security forces, leading to a shocking number of casualties.

The decision to impose a curfew and involve the military underscores the severity of the situation in Bangladesh. Despite the government's efforts to quell the protests, the unrest shows no signs of abating. With internet and mobile services cut off and a telecommunications blackout in place, the country is on edge as tensions continue to rise.

As the protests widen and the death toll mounts, Bangladesh finds itself at a critical juncture. The government's response to the crisis will be closely watched as the situation unfolds. The citizens' demand for change and the authorities' crackdown on dissent have brought the nation to a standstill, sparking concerns about the future of governance in Bangladesh.

In a series of shocking events, the websites of the Prime Minister's office and Bangladesh's central bank were hacked amidst the turmoil. This cyber attack adds another layer of complexity to the crisis, highlighting the extent of the unrest gripping the country. Amid the chaos, Indian students faced a harrowing journey to escape the violence, underscoring the widespread impact of the protests on the population.
