Bangladesh has launched "Operation Devil Hunt" following violent clashes between local residents and student groups opposing former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The operation aims to restore law and order after attacks on students in Gazipur left several injured. The clashes occurred during a student protest known as the "Bulldozer Program." Reports indicate that nearly 15 students were injured when locals mistakenly announced that robbers were present as students approached a political figure's home. In response, the Home Ministry coordinated a meeting to address the violence and ensure safety. The Chief Advisor has called for immediate restoration of order and protection for citizens and properties linked to the Awami League party.
