Authorities recovered materials from Gohailbari Secondary School in Ghoshpur Union of Boalmari, Faridpur, after allegations that items were being sold outside a tender process. Local residents stopped a truck carrying iron bench angles, a large iron window and other materials in the Gohailbari market area on Tuesday evening. Police and upazila administration officials later recovered the goods and returned them to the school.

According to local sources, materials from four abandoned school buildings, including tin, bricks, doors, windows and iron angles, were sold through an open tender on July 6 for Tk316,000. The allegation concerns additional iron bench angles and a large iron window, valued at about Tk30,000, which were allegedly sold separately without a tender. Union Parishad member Delwar Hossain called for a proper investigation and legal action if wrongdoing is established.

Assistant head teacher Nazrul Islam said he does not act without the head teacher's instructions, while acknowledging the sale of iron materials worth about Tk13,000 without a tender. Head teacher Ayub Ali gave no clear explanation. Committee president and assistant commissioner (land) Shibbir Ahmed said officials are investigating those involved and will take action under regulations if responsibility is found.
