Bangladesh disconnected and unreachable from the world

Amid ongoing student protests and widespread violence, Bangladeshi authorities have completely shut down or severely restricted internet access throughout the country, effectively disconnecting the South Asian nation from the rest of the world.

Regular telecommunications, including cellular mobile and fixed-line telephony, also remain severely disrupted. Netra News was able to speak with several individuals inside the country, including a senior official at an internet service provider, to confirm the shutdown and disruption.

Netblocks, a London-based internet watchdog, also independently confirmed the shutdown in a post on X.
