Violence surged across Bangladesh on Sunday, killing at least 79 people as protesters clashed with police and ruling party supporters. The unrest, demanding Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation, prompted the government to impose an indefinite nationwide curfew. Demonstrators targeted government offices and vehicles, while the government shut down high-speed internet to control the situation. The protests, which began over job quota reforms, have now intensified, putting Hasina’s administration under severe pressure. The death toll in the ongoing unrest has risen to at least 200, with widespread violence across major cities.
