Police officers in Bangladesh have agreed to call off their strike after the interim government assured them that most of their demands would be met. The Bangladesh Police Employees Union called for a strike on August 6 after police and students clashed violently during a massive demonstration against the Sheikh Hasina government over a controversial job reservation system. The violence led to the fall of Hasina's Awami League-led government and she fled the country and took refuge in India. After the fall of the government, many policemen did not come to work out of fear and some went to their police stations in plain clothes.
