Hill Women's Federation, a front organisation of the United People's Democratic Front, has chalked out a detailed programme to mark the 12th anniversary of disappearance of Kalpana Chakma.

A press release of the organisation said it will take out a procession from TSC Square on Dhaka University campus on 12 June at 11 a.m. A number of like-minded organisations will also take part in the procession. National political party and women organisation leaders and many others will address the rally.

Besides, a discussion will be held at R. C. Majumder Arts Auditorium of Dhaka University at 3:30 p.m. on the same day.

Kalpana Chakma was abducted on 12 June 1996 from her home at New Lallyaghona village under Baghaichari Upazilla of Rangamati district. Twelve years on, her whereabouts still remain untraced with the inquiry report gathering dust on the home ministry shelves, while the perpetrators including Lt. Ferdous are yet to be brought to justice.
