Bangladesh's Yunus to head foundation to be set up for violence victims

Quick Summary:

Over 600 people, including 44 police personnel and at least 30 children, have been killed since the massive protest by students over a controversial quota system in government jobs first started in July.

Bangladesh on Tuesday decided to set up a foundation to take care of the families of those killed and injured in the unprecedented student-led violent protests that ultimately led to the ouster of the Sheikh Hasina government.

Hasina, 76, resigned and fled to India on August 5 following the massive protest by students against the controversial quota system.
