The education ministry in a statement on Wednesday said many students were seen roaming around or hanging out. “The guardians were asked to keep the students at home, but many are going out with their families, even on the Cox’s Bazar sea-beach, taking the shutdown as holidays,” the ministry said. The district administrations and the police have been asked to take measures to send students home if they are seen outside, it said. Citing news reports, the statement said some private coaching centres were not following the shutdown order. “Related authorities have been asked to take steps against these coaching centres,” it said.
