٠٠:٠٢:٤٩Several burned buses and taxis as well as locals clearing up debris near damaged buildings were seen in Dhaka on Tuesday in the aftermath of the deadly riots over Bangladesh's government jobs quota system.
Footage also shows armed police officers communicating with auto rickshaw drivers while patrolling the streets of the country's capital.
According to media reports, at least 163 people have died due to the unrest of the demonstrations although Bangladeshi officials have not confirmed the exact death toll.
The deadly protests prompted the government to impose a nationwide curfew and a 'shoot-on-sight' order to halt the student-led rallies.
Authorities have also reportedly cut mobile internet in an attempt to quell the unrest. Meanwhile, student groups have rejected an offer of negotiations. Schools and universities in the country have also closed until further notice.
Under the existing system, one-third of public sector roles are set aside for relatives of individuals designated as war heroes.
Students claim that the arrangement is discriminatory and are pushing for a recruitment process based solely on merit.
Bangladesh's highest court suspended the current quota system last week, although demonstrations are expected to continue.
