Bangladesh's interim government, led by Nobel peace laureate Muhammad Yunus, faces mounting discontent among citizens and discord among political parties over its plans for elections.

After deadly student-led protests forced long-time Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to flee to India last year, authorities face delays over promised reforms, growing protests, and political division, despite appealing for national unity.

Here are the key issues fuelling the unrest and uncertainty:
ELECTION DISPUTES
The interim government has yet to set a firm election date, after Yunus said national elections would be held sometime next year.
REFORM DEADLOCK
Progress has been slow on sweeping institutional reforms Yunus promised after Hasina's exit.
LAW AND ORDER

Bangladesh's unstable law and order situation feeds people's anxiety, with growing street protests by civil servants, teachers, and political activists.
