Government urges Bangladesh’s universities to close after six die in protests

New Indian Express  

DHAKA: Authorities in Bangladesh urged all universities to close on Wednesday after at least six people died in violent protests over the allocation of government jobs. Authorities said that at least six people were killed on Tuesday in violence across the country as student protesters clashed with pro-government student activists and with police, and violence was reported around the capital, Dhaka, the southeastern city of Chattogram and the northern city of Rangpur. The protests began late last month, demanding an end to a quota that reserves 30% of government jobs for relatives of veterans of Bangladesh’s 1971 war of independence, but turned violent on Monday as protesters clashed with counter-protests and police at Dhaka University, leaving 100 people injured. Violence spread overnight to Jahangir Nagar University in Savar, outside Dhaka, and was reported elsewhere around the country on Tuesday.
