Settlers have made an attempt to grab a piece of plough land in Sajek in Rangamati district, sources say.
The land grab attempt comes in the midst of tension between Jummas and illegal settlers in the area over similar attempts which forced the Jummas to announce boycott of Baghaihat bazaar.
According to sources a group of 7 – 8 settlers led by Abdul Hye from Baghaihat went to Gangaram Doar this morning to cultivate 1.2 acres of land belonging to Lallua Chakma and Ms Arati Chakma.
Some army personnel accompanied them for their protection.
However, when the Jummas resisted, the settlers went away.
Today was the second consecutive day the settlers went to Gangaram Doar to grab that piece of land.
Unlike today, they were able to work on that land for a few hours without being resisted yesterday.
