DHAKA: Several teachers from Bangladesh's non-government institutions listed under the Monthly Pay Order (MPO) scheme have threatened a long march towards the Secretariat if their demands are not met, as the ongoing sit-in protests in Dhaka entered its third consecutive day on Tuesday.
Their main demands include a 20 per cent house rent allowance, a medical allowance of Bangladeshi Taka 1, 500, and a 75 per cent festival bonus for employees, local media reported.
The protest was organised under the banner of the MPO-affiliated Education Nationalisation Alliance at the Central Shaheed Minar in the capital.
