Dhaka, July 29— The government of Bangladesh has declared a one-day national mourning on Tuesday in memory of the members of law enforcement and other victims of the recent quota movement clashes. The decision was made during a cabinet meeting held at the Prime Minister's Office on Monday, presided over by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

Following the meeting, Cabinet Secretary Mahbub Hossain addressed the press, stating that the Home Minister presented a detailed report on the situation arising from the anti-quota movement. Ministers provided additional information, leading to two key decisions by the cabinet.

Firstly, the cabinet passed a formal condolence proposal for those killed in the conflicts related to the quota movement. Secondly, a nationwide day of mourning was declared, during which black badges will be worn, and prayers will be offered in mosques, temples, churches, and pagodas.

The national flag will be flown at half-mast as part of the mourning observance. Cabinet Secretary Hossain confirmed these measures to the media.

The death toll from the quota movement clashes has now reached 150, as confirmed by Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan. Initially, 147 deaths were reported, with three additional fatalities confirmed later. The Home Minister provided this information to reporters on Sunday at the secretariat.

The student-led movement for quota reforms began on July 1 and intensified on July 15 following clashes at Dhaka University. Protests quickly spread across the country, leading to widespread violence, vandalism, and casualties.

This is the first official government announcement of the death toll, providing a grim confirmation of the scale of the violence that has gripped the nation since the protests began.
