☆ Tens of Thousands of Students Protest Job Quotas in Bangladesh’s Streets
  + stars: | 2024-07-11 | by ( Saif Hasnat | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Tens of thousands of students blocked the main streets of Bangladesh’s capital, Dhaka, on Thursday, demanding that quotas for civil service jobs be abolished and those jobs given to candidates on the basis of merit. The protests broke out after a Dhaka court recently reinstated quotas for government jobs, which were abolished by a government order in 2018 following another countrywide student protest. The appellate division halted the new ruling for four weeks on Wednesday, but that did not quell the demonstrations. Protesting students blocked entry and exit points as well as key intersections in Dhaka, one of the world’s most crowded cities, causing major traffic congestion. Students broke a police barricade in Dhaka’s Shahbag area on Thursday evening to conduct a large sit-in.

☆ Bangladesh Is Struggling to Cope With a Record Dengue Outbreak in Which 778 People Have Died

DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — Bangladesh is struggling with a record outbreak of dengue fever, with experts saying a lack of a coordinated response is causing more deaths from the mosquito-transmitted disease. So far this year, 778 people in Bangladesh have died and 157,172 have been infected, according to the government’s Directorate General Health Services. The previous highest number of deaths was in 2022, when 281 people are reported to have died during the entire year. Outside Dhaka and other big cities, medical professionals including nurses need better training in handling dengue cases, he said. If the city corporation or ward commissioner took more care and sprayed insecticides, then we could have avoided the dengue outbreak,” he said.
