Bangladesh shuts universities, colleges indefinitely after protests turn deadly

Bangladesh has announced the indefinite closure of all public and private universities following deadly protests by students against a government job quota system, resulting in at least six deaths and numerous injuries. The protests stem from a 30% job reservation for family members of freedom fighters from the 1971 War of Independence, sparking widespread anger among students facing high youth unemployment rates. The government crackdown has seen violent clashes and arrests, escalating tensions across the country.
