RIOT police patrolled the streets of Bangladesh's capital Dhaka on Monday as angry opposition to the regime grows.
Rising food prices and a stock exchange crisis have fuelled popular discontent.
Passions have also been raised by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's plans for a new airport to be named after her father.
The original scheme has now been abandoned following passionate protests and the death of a policeman.
Al Jazeera reports: "Bangladesh police said that at least eight buses were set on fire on Sunday night, just hours before the strike was enforced.
"A homemade bomb reportedly exploded on the campus of a Dhaka university, injuring two people.
"Earlier on Sunday, hundreds of angry investors had also gathered to protest outside the Dhaka Stock Exchange, following the latest in a series of stock exchange collapses."
