Fresh land grabbing attempts have been reported from Bizitola, 7km
south of Khagrachari district town.

On 4, 5 and 6 February, the illegal settlers made attempts to capture
0.92 acres belonging to Lal Chakma s/o Nabo Kumar Chakma and 1.30
acres to Shanti Priyo Chakma s/o Lalit Mohan Chakma in Gamaridhala
Mouza (No. 256).

Following the same old pattern, the settlers cleared jungle for
construction of houses. The identities of the settlers could not be
known; however, they are the same people who have already grabbed
Jumma people's lands in the area.

The Jumma land owners registered protests, but to no avail.

The Khatian No. of Lal Chakma's 0.92 acre of land is R/12 (Dak No.
809/1221), while Shanti Chakma's R/13 (Dak No. 809/1216).
