Our Correspondent :
Water is all around the school grounds. At first glance it will look like a pond. But it is not a pond. It is a playground of Rampura Government Primary School in Adamdighi upazila bordering Naogaon. Thus, when it rains a little during the monsoon season, water submerges in the school playground. Moreover, some influential people of the area occupy the playground of the school and irrigate the pond water every year. As a result of water irrigation, the school playground always remains full of water and mud. No one dares speak against them. If one or two people talk or interrupt, they are threatened in various ways. Meanwhile, children’s sports are closed for this condition.
It is known that the oldest school in Rampura village of Adamdighi upazila of Bogra was established in 1914. The property of this school is one acre 71 decimals. The school owns a playground, two small ponds and a paddy field.
Some influential people in the area, irrespective of the teachers and managing committees of the school, irrigate the pond water over the playground. Besides, there are allegations that some influential people of the village have been occupying the two ponds and paddy lands of the school for about 20 years.
Locals complained that the government property of this Rampura Government Primary School in the Upazila Sadar need safety.
Talking to Ibrahim Ali Ebur, the President of the school, on his mobile phone, he admitted about the irrigation of water and said that those who have irrigated the water have been called and it is forbidden to do so and they will drain the water very soon.
Rampura school headmaster Gautam Chandra Mohant said the school’s assets amount to about one acre 71 decimals. This includes playgrounds.
