The Khagrachhari district administration has enforced Section 144 in Sadar and municipal areas to maintain law and order. Earlier in the day, Jumma students and locals blockaded major roads, demanding justice and punishment for perpetrators of sexual violence in the hills. The blockade left nearly 3,000 tourists stranded in Sajek and Khagrachhari. The army later attempted to safely escort tourists out of the troubled areas. Protesters also staged demonstrations by burning tires and picketing at Chengi Bridge, Chengi Square, and Mahajan Para.
