Teachers and employees under the MPO scheme have continued their sit-in programme for a fourth consecutive day at the Central Shaheed Minar, demanding 20 percent of their basic salary as housing allowance. The sit-in at Shaheed Minar, he said, would continue until the government accepted their demands. After staying there until 8pm, the teachers and employees returned to Shaheed Minar and spent the night there. On Sunday morning, teachers and employees began a continuous sit-in programme in front of the National Press Club to push for these demands. On Sept 30, the government increased the house rent allowance for MPO-registered teachers and employees by Tk 500.
