Students have blocked the Chattogram-Cox's Bazar highway for two consecutive hours demanding the resignation of the principal of Chakaria Government College in Cox's Bazar. At the same time, the teachers and staff working at the college are observing a work stoppage and sit-in program on the college campus. This sit-in program has been going on since 11:00 AM on Sunday (April 6). Due to the students' blockade of the highway, traffic on the way to Cox's Bazar and Chattogram was halted for two hours. This caused severe traffic congestion. Long-distance tourist buses and general passengers suffered extreme inconvenience. Later, the situation was normalized by the intervention of Chiringa Highway Police Station's OC, the army, and the UNO's representative.Fahim, a student representative of Chakaria Government College, said, “Acting Principal Nusrat Jahan behaves indecently with students and guardians. She disrupts the educational environment by showing discriminatory behavior toward students and embezzling money in the name of retake exams. She harasses students' guardians using political influence, threatens teachers, and has caused various controversies on campus. As she has failed to ensure a conducive and safe learning environment for students, we are holding a sit-in program demanding her resignation.”A teacher of the college said, “Acting Principal Nusrat Jahan is involved in various irregularities, corruption, and misbehavior with teachers. She acts arbitrarily in her responsibilities and is regularly absent from the college. Due to her threats and unprofessional behavior, we—the teachers and staff—are observing a work stoppage. We want a proper academic environment to be created in the college.”Multiple attempts were made to contact Acting Principal Nusrat Jahan of Chakaria Government College for comments on the allegations, but she did not answer the phone.Chakaria UNO Md. Atiqur Rahman said in the evening, “Discussions are ongoing with the teachers of Chakaria Government College to resolve the issue. No decision has been reached yet. Necessary measures will be taken upon consideration.”
