Bangladesh plans to form a wage board after widespread garment protests led to factory shutdowns, per Reuters.

The strikes, involving thousands of workers, demand better pay and working conditions in the country's vital textile sector.

Meanwhile, a deadly dengue outbreak continues in Dhaka, with over 400 deaths reported this month, according to Daily Sabah.
