Private honors and master’s level teachers in the country have blocked the road in front of the Shikkha Bhaban, demanding inclusion in the Monthly Pay Order (MPO) system.
On Wednesday, at around 7:30pm, during the second day of their protest on Abdul Gani Road, the teachers escalated their demonstration by blocking the road.
The teachers proceeded to lay down on the street, refusing to leave until their demands are met.
College teacher Mostafa said: "We will not leave until we receive a concrete assurance. The police are requesting us to vacate the road, but we have informed them that we have called for the intervention of the Chief Adviser.”
“If necessary, we will go to his office in Jamuna. We will not leave until our demands are fulfilled," he added.
