Authorities in Bangladesh have taken drastic measures in an attempt to quell the ongoing protests and rioting that have gripped the nation. In response to the unrest, a nationwide curfew has been imposed to maintain order and prevent further violence.
The protests, which initially began as demonstrations against the government’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, have escalated into widespread unrest with reports of clashes between protesters and security forces. The situation has become increasingly volatile, with at least 67 people reported injured amidst the chaos.
The imposition of a national curfew signals the government’s determination to restore calm and stability to the country. However, critics have raised concerns about the potential for further violence and the impact of such strict measures on the rights of citizens.
As the situation in Bangladesh continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the government will address the underlying issues driving the protests and whether the curfew will successfully bring an end to the unrest.
