Trainees at Jhenidah Primary Training Institute (PTI) yesterday boycotted their classes protesting sacking of a physical instructor. They also demanded reinstatement of Shahana Pervin. Shahana told The Daily Star that she was repeatedly harassed as she protested the maltreatment by the principal. She said she often opposed realisation of 'extra money' from the trainees, which angered the principal. Despite several attempts over cell phone the principal could not be contacted for his comment.
