As per a report by private broadcaster Independent Television, at least 104 police officers and 30 journalists suffered injuries in Bangladesh after&nbsp;clashes broke out all over the country.

The network reported that 702 individuals were hurt in the confrontations between police and student protesters,&nbsp;which occurred in 26 of the nation's 64 districts, on Thursday (Jul 18).

Protesters also set fire to multiple government buildings and vehicles on the streets, according to the police.

The statement, released after a nationwide internet shutdown late Thursday, said,&nbsp;“The miscreants have already torched, vandalized and carried out destructive activities,” on the offices of state broadcaster BTV and the national disaster management agency along with “various” police and government buildings.&nbsp;

The shutdown, which cut off Bangladesh's communication with the outside world, was followed by the statement.

Police mentioned, “So far, we have shown maximum restraint,” but warned that if the destructive activities persisted, they would “be forced to make maximum use of the law.”

This week’s clashes, ignited by student protests over civil service hiring rules, have resulted in 39 deaths, with 32 occurring on Thursday, the deadliest day of unrest so far.

On Friday, Reuters witnesses in Dhaka and New Delhi observed that telecommunications remained largely disrupted nationwide.

According to reports, calls from other countries&nbsp;failed&nbsp;to connect, and internet-based calls could not be completed.

On Friday morning, the websites of newspapers in Bangladesh were not updated, and their social media accounts were also not active.

This is the biggest demonstration in Bangladesh since Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was re-elected in 2024. The nationwide protests are due to high youth unemployment rates.
