Cox’s Bazar-4 Member of Parliament Shahjahan Chowdhury announced that the government is taking necessary steps to send Rohingyas back to Myanmar with dignity by 2027. He emphasized that the construction of permanent structures by Rohingyas in Bangladesh must be stopped. Chowdhury warned that if the Rohingya crisis continues, it could threaten local security, the economy, and social stability. He stressed that a quick and respectful repatriation is the only viable solution.

He made these remarks on Saturday morning at a human chain event organized by the ‘Adhikar Bastobayon Committee’ at Palongkhali Station Square in Ukhiya. Chowdhury also urged law enforcement agencies to take stricter measures to control drugs, weapons, and other crimes in border areas, noting that peace and security in the Ukhiya-Teknaf region depend on border safety.

The event was attended by local political, social, and professional leaders, including BNP representatives and community figures, who participated under the committee’s leadership.
