Garment Protests Turn Violent
Bangladesh has formed a wage board as garment workers protest against low pay, per Al Jazeera. The demonstrations have escalated into violence, with clashes reported at several factories.
Reuters reports that the government's newly appointed wage board aims to address worker demands for better compensation and working conditions in the country's vital textile sector.
The unrest follows a deadly dengue outbreak, which has claimed 418 lives this month, according to Daily Sabah. Health officials warn the death toll may rise before December ends.
