Our Correspondent, Mymensingh
Teachers and students of Shakharipatti Government Primary School on Monday submitted memorandums to Mymensingh Deputy Commissioner and Police Superintendent to protect their school from 'land grabbers'. Established in 1945, the school was run by local municipality till it was nationalised in 1973. Teachers and members of the school managing committee also held a press conference at Mymensingh Press Club, seeking immediate steps by the administration to save the school. They alleged that a gang of hired goons in an attack on March 17 damaged a wall of a latrine at the school and took away the tubewell. Attacks were made on several occasions earlier since 2001,they alleged. The school authorities filed general diaries after the March 17 attack and also on four occasions earlier but police did not take any action, they alleged. There are about 180 students in the school, most of them are from low income groups. School managing committee members Mahbubul Islam, Kamal Pasha, Anwar Hossain and headmaster Monira Habib spoke at the press conference.
