Hundreds of vehicles were trapped in the huge queue and the passengers faced extreme sufferings due to the blockade using felled tree logs from 12pm to 1.30pm.
Being informed, Chandpur Upazila Parishad Chairman Nurul Islam Nazim Dewan, Sadar Upazila Nibahi Office Kaniz Fatema, District Assistant Primary Education Officer Farid Uddin Ahmed and OC of Chandpur Model Police Station Md Nasim Uddin rushed to the spot and talked to the teachers and guardians to resolve the issue.
On assurance from the authority to resolve the issue on Thursday, the students withdrew the blockade. Later, police and local people removed the tree log and traffic movement resumed on the route.
“I have applied to the concerned offices including the Deputy Commissioner as the school’s property was not included in ‘B.S. Khatian’ and a case is running at the Chandpur Land Survey Tribunal to resolve the matter properly. However, despite that, members of an organised land grabbers’ group obstruct us whenever effort is made to start infrastructure development work for the school,” said Headmistress of the school Lutfa Begum.
