Constituency Cuts in Bangladesh Spark Protests

Constituency Cuts in Bangladesh Spark Protests

Imagine the government is drawing lines to divide up the country for elections.

Some people are not happy with how these lines have been redrawn.

They're worried that their areas will be changed and their voices won't be heard.

People are protesting by sitting in and blocking roads and railways.

In some places, they've shut down businesses to show they disagree.

They want the government to change the lines back to how they were before to ensure that their constituencies remain unchanged before the next general elections.
