Bangladesh has eased a curfew imposed during deadly student protests over civil service employment quotas, allowing garment factories and banks to reopen. The unrest, which began last week, resulted in at least 186 deaths. Thousands of troops are patrolling the streets, and internet access remains limited. Despite the disruption, factory worker Khatun expressed support for the student demands, calling for government reforms. The garment industry, vital to Bangladesh's economy, resumed operations with government clearance, while the curfew remains in effect for most citizens for 19 hours daily.
