On Monday (July 8), a human chain was held at Mierhat Bazar of Kafrikhal Union of the upazila at 10:00 am.
Sohanur Rahman, who was present at the human chain, said that we, the local residents and the former and present students of Mirhat Adarsh ​​Lower Secondary School, organized this human chain to protest against the arbitrariness, irregularity, corruption and embezzlement of Tk 22 lakh and the theft of the school tree by the arbitrariness, irregularity, corruption and recruitment trade of Mirhat Adarsh ​​Lower Secondary School acting headmaster Md. Badal Mia and assistant teacher Kamrul Islam. doing We want the acting headmaster to be immediately dismissed and the school’s ad-hoc committee to be abolished and an elected committee formed with parent members.

Upazila Secondary Education Officer has filed a written complaint but no action has been taken yet.
Zainal Abedin, the sacked headmaster of Meerhat Adarsh ​​Lower Secondary School and Chairman of Kafrikhal UP said, I have been suspended completely illegally since 2015. According to the order of the High Court, no teacher can be suspended for more than 180 days. But in violation of the order of the High Court, the Acting Headmaster has suspended me for nine consecutive years by forming an ad hoc committee with his own minded people outside the rules.
Badal Mia, the current acting headmaster of the school, could not be reached even after several attempts to contact him on the phone.
