Cox's
Bazar, Sep 02 (UNB)- All five teachers of the Cox's Bazar Nursing Institute
were compelled to resign on Sunday night amid students' demonstration seeking
their resignation for alleged corruption.
Students at Cox's Bazar
Nursing Institute confined the teachers to a washroom and demanded their
resignation citing various allegations, including irregularities, corruption,
and misappropriation of funds.
Earlier, on Sunday
afternoon students of the nursing institute began their protest.
They confined five
teachers and eleven students to a washroom.
Later, two resident
medical officers from Cox's Bazar Sadar Hospital, Dr. GRM Jihadul Islam and Dr.
Ashiqur Rahman, an Additional District Magistrate, the army, and RAB arrived.
After nearly three hours
of discussion with teachers and students, all the teachers resigned.
Dr. Jihadul Islam said
that after hours of discussion, the teachers agreed to step down.
As a result, the
institution now faces a complete lack of teaching staff, he said.
Directorate General of
Nursing and Midwifery (DGNM) will determine how to resolve this crisis and the
superintendent of Sadar Hospital and the Additional District Magistrate will
write letters to address the issue, he added.
