chtnews.comNews No. 207/2009, November 20, 2009

The agitating Ghilachari women have suspended the ongoing road blockade till 25 November after taking annual examinations of the school children and the suffering of the people into consideration, says a statement issued by Ghilachari Committee for Guiding Movement Against Women Repression today.

“But the protest will continue” it added.

“We are suspending the blockade till 25 November” one of the organisers told chtnews.com.

They had blocked Rangamati – Khagrachari road for four days since 17 November in protest against an attempted rape on a Jumma woman and demanding punishment of the guilty army man and withdrawal of Ghilachari camp.
