Activists of All India Democratic Students' Organisation (AIDSO) shout slogans in solidarity with protesting students in Bangladesh, at a protest gathering in New Delhi, India, Friday, July 19, 2024.

Authorities in Bangladesh have imposed a strict curfew and deployed military forces in response to violent clashes that have left several people dead and hundreds injured. The unrest stems from protests over the allocation of government jobs, with the deadliest day occurring on Friday.

Reports indicate varying numbers of casualties, with one source reporting 43 deaths. The situation remains volatile, with clashes between police and protesters escalating in Dhaka and other cities. Online communications have been restricted, and a curfew has been implemented, with a 'shoot-at-sight' order in place for extreme cases.
