the Jumma people in Chittagong Hill Tracts, has announced a set of

February, says a press released issued today.

The other programmes include wearing black badges and hoisting black
flags on 22 February, candle light vigil in Khagrachari on 24
February, boycott of classes in schools and colleges on 25 February
and mass rally in Khagrachari on 26 February.
