In Bangladesh, violent student protests against quota reforms have escalated, leading to the death of at least 300 people. Protesters stormed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's palace, forcing her to flee the country. The unrest has seen 400,000 people on the streets of Dhaka, with 11,000 arrested and 3,500 garment factories closed. The situation remains tense, with the government deploying troops and armoured vehicles to control the chaos. The death toll and widespread violence have prompted India to advise its citizens against traveling to Bangladesh.
