Teachers and employees of non-MPO (monthly pay order) educational institutions holding a mass rally in front of the capital's Central Shaheed Minar yesterday, demanding implementation of a commitment they say Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had previously made to bring them under MPO. The demonstrators claim they have been pressing for the demand for over 10 years, but the authorities concerned take no heed of them. On top of that they claim some teachers and employees get a paltry salary while many others receive no payments. Photo: Star
