A Jumma villager has been detained in an army camp in Dighinala in Khagrachari district, UPDF sources say.
The incident occurred at 1:30pm today when Bengua Chakma (30) son of Krishna Shashi Chakma protested at the damage caused to his tobacco field by the widening of a road leading to Parbati Para army camp near Ketrangchara in Babuchara.
Bengua Chakma has been detained in that army camp.
The road from Meinie river to the camp – the length of which is about 4/5 kilometers – is being reconstructed by Massud Rana, chairman of Boalkhali Union Council, without a formal project approval.
“This proves that the army has no intention to leave the CHT.” said Natun Kumar Chakma, a UPDF leader in Dighinala.
He condemned the illegal detention of Bengua Chakma and urged the authorities to release him immediately and unconditionally.

- 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.
