Non-government teachers and employees will stage a sit-in demonstration in front of the prime minister's office (PMO) tomorrow for inclusion of their names in monthly payment order (MPO) from the date of recognition.
The programme was announced by Besarkari Shikkhak-Karmochari Oikya Jote, a platform of non-MPO teachers and employees of private schools, colleges and madrasas, at a rally at the Central Shaheed Minar in the city yesterday.
Several hundred teachers and employees from across the country joined the rally.
