Bid to grab school land
Several hundred students of Mirpur Shaheed Abu Taleb High School yesterday held a rally and formed a human chain in the capital protesting an alleged attempt of a group of locals to grab the school land.
Students and teachers of the school, located at Mirpur-10, alleged that the group of locals is trying to grab the land showing fake documents.
SM Shahidul Islam Talukder, headmaster of the school, said some local people mutated the land into their name secretly in 2009 and are now trying to grasp the land.
Members of the school managing committee said a group of people filed cases against the president of the committee over land dispute.
They said the school was constructed in 1975 on plot 10B-1/17 in Mirpur-10 and, later, a five-storied building was constructed on the land in 2002 with government finance.
But, a section of locals claimed ownership of the land in 2011, terming it as a parental property, they added.
