Land dispute has locked up, over two decades, a primary school that had been opened up, in 1972, to commemorate martyred intellectual Prof Munier Chowdhury.
Numerous attempts to reopen the school, which was located at Gopairbagh village in Shahapur union No 1 of Noakhali s Chatkhil upazila, went in vain as a case remains under trial stage over the dispute.
