Bangladeshi protesters demonstrating against a government job quota tried to impose "nationwide shutdown" as 19 more persons were killed in clashes with the toll reaching 25. A temporary ban on mobile internet services was also put in place. Clashes broke out in opposition to 30% reservation in government jobs for descendants of those who fought in 1971's War of Independence.
