Even amid the harsh winter, teachers and students of Madhabkati-Bilpatiala Government Primary School are showing up to the waterlogged classrooms to ensure the children’s education is not hampered. Many parts of the No-2 Raghunathpur union in Khulna’s Dumuria upazila, where the school is situated, has been partially inundated for around six months now. As the drainage system in the area remains faulty, the school authorities have been trying to remove the water from the school themselves. PHOTO: HABIBUR RAHMAN
