4 coaching centres sealed off in Keraniganj

A mobile court has sealed off four coaching centres in Keraniganj as owners of those have been running the business for defying the government’s ban on keeping the centres open during SSC exams.

The mobile court assisted by Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) also fined Tk 1,000 to each of the owners of Shatata, Confidence, Pathshala and MR coaching centres, said Maj Syed Imran Hoshan, company commander of Rab-10 in Keraniganj.

Two out of the four centres were operated by two local school teachers while the other two operated by two students, he said.

The owners were asked to comply with the government’s directives to keep their coaching centres closed until the end of the ongoing Secondary School Certificate and its equivalent examinations, the Rab official also said.

The mobile court led by Promatha Ranjan Ghatak, assistant commissioner (land) of South Keraniganj, conducted the drives in Chunkutia and Kadamtali areas yesterday.

Earlier, the government ordered owners of all coaching centers across the country to keep their businesses closed from January 27 to February 27 to facilitate the SSC exams without the incidents of any question paper leakage.

The SSC and its equivalent examinations across the country simultaneously began on February 2.
