Bangladesh is on the brink of chaos as protestors call for a 'Long March to Dhaka,' a day after fierce clashes erupted, resulting in nearly 100 deaths. The demonstrators, aimed at demanding Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation, faced strong opposition from ruling party supporters across the country.
The violent confrontations began on Sunday, with groups clashing in various parts of the nation. The casualties include police officers, escalating the situation to a national crisis. In response, authorities have cut off mobile internet services and instituted a nationwide curfew indefinitely.
Amid growing concerns, the protestors have moved up their planned march to Monday, urging students and the general public to participate. India's advisory for its nationals to avoid travel to Bangladesh underlines the severity of the current turmoil.
