Government issues advisory for Indians amid violence in Bangladesh | Bangladesh Reservation Protest

In Bangladesh, protests have erupted demanding an end to reservations in government jobs for the children of soldiers who fought in the 1971 war. The demonstrations have turned violent, resulting in at least six deaths and over 400 injuries amid clashes with police. Triggered by a recent Supreme Court decision temporarily halting these reservations, protesters have called for a nationwide shutdown on Thursday, excluding ambulance services. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina expressed deep regret over the deaths in the violence and announced the formation of a judicial inquiry committee to investigate the matter, while insisting that the final decision rests with her regarding the reservation policy affecting 30% of government jobs for war heroes' children.
