Bangladesh is witnessing renewed violence, with crude bomb blasts, arson attacks and road blockades reported across Dhaka, Gazipur, Gopalganj and other districts. The unrest comes weeks before former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's planned return from India in December. Police have made hundreds of arrests, while authorities have blamed the banned Awami League and its supporters for several attacks. However, the allegations have not been independently established. Separately, garment factory workers have staged protests demanding an increase in the monthly minimum wage from Tk 12,500 to Tk 30,000. The unrest has also disrupted factory operations and raised security concerns. (PC: India Today)
