The government has suspended the salaries and allowances of four school teachers over the incidents of influential individuals walking on human-bridges of students during sports events in Chandpur and Jamalpur. Of the four teachers, one is Chandpur’s Nilkamal Osmaniya High School Headmaster Mosharraf Hossain. Joint Secretary Salma Jahan of the division told the Dhaka Tribune that the principles and physical education teachers of Nilkamal Osmaniya High school and Jamalpur’s Mahmudpur Bahumukhi High school had also been asked to explain why they should not be terminated permanently. The photo of Narsingdi’s Monohordi UNO Md Shahidullah walking on a human-bridge surfaced in social media around the same time. The photo shows Shahidullah walking over the chests of youths while he clutches on to bamboos that he used as railings.
