After months of unrest caused by the KNF (Kuki-Chin National Front), normalcy is gradually returning to remote areas of the Bandarban hills. More than 300 members from 89 Bawm families, who had taken refuge in Mizoram, India, and other regions, have returned to their villages in Ruma and Rowangchhari upazilas. Two KNF-linked individuals, Roalaling Bawm and Lalpek Lian Bawm, have also surrendered and returned to civilian life. Security forces and local administration are providing them support, while the army has donated BDT 2 million to assist the affected Bawm community.
