The government has declared a national day of mourning on Tuesday to honour those who lost their lives, including law enforcement personnel, during the quota reform movement.
The decision came in a Cabinet meeting at the Prime Minister's Office on Monday, according to media reports.
Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan on Sunday confirmed that 147 people had been killed in clashes and violence surrounding the quota reform movement.
Student protests demanding quota reforms in civil service jobs began on July 1.
Following a violent clash at Dhaka University on July 15, the protests quickly spread across the country.
From the following day, attacks, clashes, violence, vandalism, arson and casualties were reported in various parts of the country, including Dhaka.
The home minister said among the deceased were students, including members of the Chhatra League, the student wing of the ruling Awami League.
