Tensions have been running high in Burighat area of Rangamati district after Captian Qamrul of Burighat army camp gave a 72-hours ultimatum for the release of a Bengali settler alleged to have disappeared a few days back.
The ultimatum will end tomorrow, 25 January. However, the army has already arrested two Jummas from Gorjontoli village and tortured another villager. "Massive operations" are reportedly underway.
Another source said Jumma villagers from Gorhed, Edmara and Krishnama Chara are now fleeing their homes for fear of reprisal attacks.
Information about what is actually happening there is scanty as the army has blocked the Rangamati - Khagrachari road.

- The Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) region comprises three districts: Banderban , Khagrachari and Rangamati. The districts comprise seven main valleys formed by the Feni, Karnafuli, Chengi, Myani, Kassalong, Sangu and Matamuhuri rivers aid their tributaries and numerous hills, ravines and cliffs covered with dense vegetation, which are in complete contrast to most other districts of Bangladesh, which consist mainly of alluvial lands. Geographically the CHT can be divided into two broad ecological zones: (a) hill valley, (b) agricultural plains. It is surrounded by the Indian states of Tripura on the north and Mizoram on the east, Myanmar on the south and east and Chittagong district on the west.
