২৩ জুলাই নিউজ ক্লিপস – July-36

This document is a comprehensive collection of news clippings from July 23, 2024, compiled from dozens of Bangladeshi newspapers (both Bengali and English), covering the acute political and social crisis surrounding Bangladesh's quota reform movement. The clippings document the third day of a nationwide curfew imposed by the Sheikh Hasina government, with over 1,400 arrests made across the country, at least 177 deaths reported over six days of unrest, and massive economic damage including an estimated Tk 1,600 crore daily loss in the garment sector, Tk 1,000 crore in damage to the power sector, and widespread disruption from a five-day internet blackout. The main topics covered include: the government's issuance of a quota reform gazette notification reducing job quotas to 7% (with 93% merit-based appointments) following a Supreme Court ruling; the government and ruling Awami League blaming BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami for orchestrating the violence; opposition parties and protest coordinators rejecting those accusations and criticizing the government's crackdown; and the army chief's statement that the situation was brought under control within 48 hours of military deployment. Additional coverage focuses on the severe economic fallout — rising commodity prices, paralyzed ports, factory closures, internet-dependent businesses collapsing — and the human toll, including deaths, injuries, journalist assaults, and displaced workers.
