Strike disrupts life in Dhaka following deadly Bangladesh street protests

Description

A nationwide strike call by the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party over the deadly violence on Saturday disrupts normal life in parts of the capital Dhaka. Many markets remain shuttered in the capital city and public transport is running thin in the bustling city following fresh incidents of arson, with riot police on high alert for signs of further violence. At least two people were killed on Saturday during the street demonstration by opposition parties to demand Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina step down to allow an interim government to oversee elections due by the end of January.
