Chattogram-Khagrachhari highway opens to vehicles after 72 hours

Chattogram-Khagrachhari regional highway, which was blocked since Friday after the clash between police and Hefazat activist, was opened to traffic after 72 hours.

Hathazari upazila administration, in cooperation with the Roads and Highways Department, removed a wall on the highway built by madrasa students soon after the clash.

Ruhul Amin, upazila nirbahi officer of Hathazari upazila, told The Daily Star that vehicles began to use the road around 10:00pm after the wall was torn down and the potholes made to stop the movement of vehicles were filled up.

"Now the situation has returned to normalcy with vehicles plying in full swing," he added.
