Authorities in Bangladesh have taken drastic measures to control a surge of violence that has resulted in a tragic death toll of over 90 people and hundreds more injured in ongoing anti-government protests. The protests, which have been escalating in intensity, are calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

The protests have sparked concerns both domestically and internationally, with calls for the government to address the grievances of the protesters and find a peaceful resolution to the ongoing crisis.
As the death toll continues to rise and tensions remain high, the situation in Bangladesh remains a cause for concern. It is crucial for all parties involved to prioritize dialogue and find a peaceful resolution to the grievances at hand.
