July 24: Curfew relaxed, Bank reopened, coordinators found blindfolded
This news article covers events from July 24, 2024, during Bangladesh's "Monsoon Revolution," a period of civil unrest centered on a student-led anti-discrimination quota reform movement. The article documents the temporary relaxation of a nationwide curfew (10am–5pm), allowing government offices, banks, and financial institutions to reopen on a limited basis after a three-day closure. Key events reported include the discovery of two Anti-Discrimination Student Movement coordinators, Asif Mahmud and Abu Baker Majumdar, who were found blindfolded after being missing for five days, alleging they were pressured to make statements to stop the movement. The article also covers Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina blaming BNP-Jamaat for economic destabilization, BNP's claim that 2,000 opposition members were detained, police compiling arrest lists of those involved in violence, and the partial restoration of broadband internet while mobile data remained suspended.
