Assistant teachers and staff confined Superintendent Md. Saidur Rahman and office assistant Shafiyar Rahman for five hours over six months of unpaid salaries at Kamat Angaria Dakhil Madrasah in Bhurungamari upazila, Kurigram. The confinement lasted from 10 am to 3 pm on Monday inside the madrasah office, while protesters held placards and demonstrated outside.
Teachers claimed that administrative complications caused by the madrasah super left 18 teachers and staff without pay for six months. The complication arose about a year and a half ago when the super showed his cousin and office assistant as a teacher, leading to a pending court case filed by the office assistant.
Upon receiving the news, madrasah president and Bhurungamari upazila BNP member secretary Shahidul Islam Akand went to the spot with police and rescued the two. Later, the president held a meeting with the angry teachers and staff.
