Building on Bagerhat school playground
A local influential person is constructing a building on the playground of a secondary school, ignoring the order of the local administration and causing grievance among the teachers, students and guardians.
Headmaster KM Raju Ahmed said SM Ishaq Secondary School was established on 2.38 acres of land at Kaltala village in Chitalmari upazila of the district in 1963.
A month ago, Mithu Fakir, a local influential person, and his people started constructing a building on the south side of the school's playground, he added.
Over this incident, he filed complaints on September 10 with the deputy commissioner, superintendent of police, Chittalmari upazila nirbahi officer, officer in-charge of Chitalmari Police Station and secondary education officer, the headmaster said, adding that the administration stopped construction work until the matter was solved.
But, Mithu started the construction work again on October 10, ignoring the administration's order.
Class X students and many guardians said Mithu and his men are constructing the building by occupying the school's playground illegally.
They will carry out protest programmes if the grabbers are not removed from the school field, they added.
Mithu's brother Suman Fakir said the land is their ancestral property, and the school has recorded the land in its name illegally.
Officer-in-Charge of Chitalmari Police Station Anukul Sarkar said they have stopped the construction work and police have been deployed in the area to maintain peace and order.
