Settlers obstructed two Jumma families from working in their own land in Sajek under Rangamati district.

Sources said Lallo Chakma’s wife Hasina Chakma and Boli Chakma of Gangaramdore village went to their land to cut trees yesterday at about 9am.

But three settlers named Md. Abdul, Mofiz and Rubel chased them away wielding daos (knives).

Earlier on 11 November, in a similar incident Aroti Chakma of Gangaramdore was obstructed by Mofiz from clearing jungle in her own land.
