Three advisers– Home Affairs Adviser Lt Gen (Retd) Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury, CHT Affairs Adviser Supradip Chakma, and Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Adviser Hasan Arif– began a meeting with local political parties, transport leaders and different organisations centring the rounds of violence in three hilly areas.
The meeting was being held at the Rangamati Circuit House.
Leaders of various political parties, regional organisations, and transport workers’ organisations, alongside officials of the army and police, have joined the meeting.
Among the political leaders present are- Rangamati District BNP President Deepan Talukder, party’s General Secretary Advocate Mamunur Rashid Mamun, Central BNP Tribal Affairs Secretary Deepen Dewan, Jamaat-e-Islami Rangamati District Leader Harunur Rashid, JSS Central Vice President Ushatan Talukder and JSS District President Dr Ganga Manik Chakma.
The current law and order situation in Khagrachari, Rangamati and Bandarban is being discussed.
Violent clashes erupted in the hill districts of Khagrachhari and Rangamati yesterday (20 September), leaving four people dead and over fifty injured.
The incidents, which occurred on Thursday (19 September) and Friday, led to heightened tensions and heavy law enforcement deployment in both regions. Amid deteriorating situation, local administrations imposed Section 144 in the two districts.
Meanwhile, a 72-hour road and waterways blockade in three hill districts – Khagrachari, Rangamati and Bandarban – since 6am this morning has been in place.
An indefinite transport strike has also been called in Rangamati.
