On August 1, the cabinet approved the draft of the ‘Chittagong Hill Tracts Land Dispute Resolution Commission (Amendment) Act, 2016’ curtailing the discretionary power of the commission’s chairman in decision making, aiming to put an end to land disputes in the CHT.
Five Bangalee settlers’ organisations- Parbataya Nagarik Parishad, Parbataya Bangali Chhatra Parishad, Parbataya Samaodhikar Andolon, Parbataya Gano Parishad and Parbataya Bangalee Chhatra Oikyo Parishad—called the shutdown on Wednesday in the district protesting the move.
No vehicle was seen plying the roads in the district while no long-route bus left the district town. A large number of policemen have been deployed in several points of the district to fend off any trouble.
