Locals want headmaster to quit for 'corruption'
Teachers and students accompanied by people from all walks of life formed a human chain on Tilli High School premises in Saturia upazila of the district yesterday, demanding removal of headmaster of the school for his alleged corruption and misbehaviour.
They also brought out a procession to press for the demand, said locals.
Chairman of Tilli Union Parishad Abdul Latif, former president of the school managing committee Johirul Alam, secretary of Tilli union Awami League Abdur Razzak Khan, students Nazmul Hossain, Selim Mia and Jasim Uddin, among others, took part in the human chain.
The participants said headmaster Abul Hashem took all decisions about the school unilaterally.
He has been misappropriating money from the school for long, they alleged.
He often misbehaved with his colleagues and beat up students over lame excuses, they said.
Earlier, local people filed complaint to District Education Officer Khandaker Rezaul Karim against the headmaster.
The DEO then informed the director general of education directorate about the matter. Later, the DG served a show cause notice to the accused, said speakers at the human chain.
Despite repeated calls, this correspondent could not reach the headmaster for his comment on the issue as his cellphone remained switched off.
