<i>Storm has gone, ordeal is on</i>
Students of a registered primary school in Koroichura Union under Madarganj upazila of the district attend classes under the open sky as the tin-roofed school was razed to ground during storm that lashed the area on Sunday night. Abdur Rouf, headmaster of Dakkhin Koroichura Registered Primary School, said local donors built the school with bamboo poles and tin sheet roofing in 1983. The school got government registration in 1994, he added. Poor students from Mahishbathan, Vangbari, Dhulirband villages under Koroichura Union and Gupalpur village under Gunaritola Union are studying at different classes of the school. There are only four teachers, including the headmaster, for around 250 students. Though some officials of donor agencies and LGED had visited the school several times, no concrete school building is yet to be built, the headmaster said, adding that local lawmaker has remained indifferent to the need. He sought financial assistance from the government to rebuild the school before the upcoming rainy season.
