DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — Bangladesh is crawling back to normalcy after more than a week of chaos over student protests involving a quota system in government jobs. Most of the country remained without internet on Wednesday but thousands of cars were on the streets of the capital after authorities relaxed a curfew for seven hours. Offices and banks opened for a few hours Wednesday while authorities restored broadband internet in some areas in Dhaka and the second-largest city of Chattogram. Media reports say at least 197 people were killed since the protests turned violent on July 16. Authorities have not given any confirmed toll.
