Panic has gripped students and guardians as the institute remained open only for six days in last one month.

The last classes were held on February 6, they said.

The guardians are asking the new Director General (DG) of Bangladesh Institute of Administration and Management (Biam) to take initiatives for resuming the academic activities.

The sacked teachers led by principal Saima Banu blamed Shahidul Alam, former education secretary and director general of Biam, for creating abnormal situation inside the institute.

They alleged that Shahidul and his hired goons beat and hurled abusive words at the teaches on February 6 and 12 for protesting his corruption and irregular activities.

"According to the rules of the school, Biam DG will be the president of the governing body by virtue of his position, but Shahidul who was sacked from the post of DG on November 16, still grabs the post of president, said Saima while talking to The Daily Star yesterday.

She said Shahidul became angry with her and other teachers when a case was filed against him for beating up the teachers on February 6.

"Getting bail from the court on February 11, Shahidul sacked me and six other teachers. But he cannot sack us because his holding of the president post is illegal," she added.
