Moung fails to get back his BD taka 5,000

Ex-combatant Mr. Moung Marma came to Rangamati yesterday with a hope of meeting Mr. Jyotirinra Bodhipriya Larma (Santu Larma). Mr. Moung now lives at Manikchari of Khagarachari Hill District with his family. This time he came to meet Mr. Larma to get back his BD Taka 5,000 to negotiate his serious family crisis and know about the latest status of the UNDP-CHTDF programme to rehabilitate the ex-combatants. Moung has been seriously frustrated for failing to meet Mr. Larma. He could neither meet Mr. Larma and managed to draw the money lying with him nor he had money for food and return journey. As a result he went to meet Mr. Rupayan Dewan and Mr. Chandra Sekhar Chakma, two JSS seniors for help. They, however, have supported Moung with some money for return journey and food.

Moung bought a share from his 50,000 BD Taka he got from the Governmnet to negotiaite his immediate needs for running an institutionalised business by the ex-combatants. This is noteworthy that each ex-combatant received BD Taka 50,000 from the Government soon after their coming to over ground for meeting up their immediate needs. And the JSS immediately raised a business fund from all of them with shares of BD Taka 5,000 each. Moung actually came to Mr. Larma for getting back the share-money which has been lying with Mr. Larma for the last 11 years.
