Hundreds of teachers from non-MPO educational institutions began a sit-in protest in front of the National Press Club in Dhaka on Saturday, wearing funeral shrouds to press their demand for MPO (Monthly Pay Order) inclusion. The protest, organized by the "Combined Non-MPO Unity Council," follows an earlier 17-day movement in February and March. Coordinator Principal Selim Mia said a promise made by the Education Advisor in March to resolve the issue by July remains unfulfilled. He warned of more severe actions if no official declaration is made soon.
