A protest rally in Naniachar today demanded punishment to Captain Shamim for harassing Buddhist monks yesterday.
About 2,500 took part in the rally that was presided over by Ramani Mohan Chakma, Chairman in charge of Naniachar Union.
The rally was addressed among others Kumentu Chakma, Vice-president, Naniachari Upazila, Pranati Ranjan Khisha, Chairman of Burighat Union, and Sentu Chakma, member Naniachar Union Council.
The speakers condemned harassment of Ven. Bishuddhananda Mahathero and other monks and novices and demanded exemplary punishment to Captain Shamim of Bogachari camp for the incident.
“If our demand is not met within a reasonable timeframe, we will go for tougher action.” they warned.
The rally was followed by a procession which took off from Rest House and ended at Old Market.
Later, the processionists handed the TNO a memorandum addressed to the Prime Minister.
A school teacher who attended the rally told chtnews.com that initially the TNO had refused to accept the memo. “Only when he saw the anger of the people, he agreed to take it” he added.

- 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.
