Our Correspondent, Rangamati
The United People's Democratic Front (UPDF), an anti-CHT peace accord group of indigenous people, yesterday enforced a day-long road blockade programme on the Ranga-mati-Mohalchhari-Khagrachhari and Rangamati-Nariarchar highways protesting the killing of its leader.Supporters of the UPDF marched major streets of Rangamati town and put up barricade on the Rangamati-Moalchhari Highway at around 10:00am. They later held a rally at Kutukchhari Bazar. Speakers at the rally blamed activists of Parbatya Chattagram Jano Sanghati Samity (PCJSS), the pro-CHT peace accord organisation, for the killing of their leader Tarit Chakma. Sachib Chakma, convenor of Rangamati UPDF, presided over the rally. On Sunday morning, armed miscreants allegedly belonging to the PCJSS sprayed bullets on a group of villagers, killing Tarit and injuring two other indigenous men at Pukurchhari village in Rangamati.
