An unrefined oil dumping point has been set up next to Bakhra Government Girls Primary School in Kahalu upazila of Bogura district, putting more than 300 students at health risk. The site contains chemically mixed waste, and the school grounds are reportedly covered with oily water and garbage. Locals said thousands of white sacks filled with chemical residues have been dumped into a nearby pond, producing a foul smell and causing respiratory problems among residents.
Parents and community members expressed concern that the unhygienic environment could discourage them from sending their children to school. One parent reported that his daughter fell ill after contact with the contaminated water. Locals alleged that some ruling party members are involved in the dumping activities and demanded immediate relocation of the site to protect public health and the environment.
The school’s head teacher stated that he had filed a written complaint to the Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) after verbal requests failed. The district primary education officer confirmed that instructions had been issued for necessary action, while the newly appointed UNO pledged to investigate the matter seriously and take appropriate measures.
