Section 144 has been imposed in Khagrachhari sadar upazila and municipal areas, bringing daily life to a standstill. Law-enforcement units are deployed at key locations across the district town and important points in Guimara upazila. Movement of vehicles and pedestrians is severely restricted. Under army and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) supervision, long-distance transport is being allowed on a staggered schedule. No vehicle is being allowed to move without law-enforcement escort. Separately, a group calling itself Jumma Chhatra Jontro posted on Facebook calling for an indefinite blockade across the three hill districts starting today; the group has previously called and then withdrawn similar actions. Meanwhile, two Marma community organizations allege that a vested interest group is exploiting the Jumma Chhatra Jontro banner to create unrest by mobilizing hill residents.
