A half-day road blockade is underway in Khagrachhari, called by Jumma students and local residents demanding justice for the rape of a schoolgirl.
The protest began at 6 AM Thursday and will continue until noon. Members of the Hill Students’ Council, Hill Women’s Federation, and Democratic Youth Forum set up blockades at several points, including Chengi Bridge, burning tires and staging pickets.
The shutdown has halted long-distance and most local transport, though a few small vehicles continue to operate in town. Police remain on alert to prevent violence.
Protesters are demanding immediate justice for the assault of a Marma teenager. In addition to the blockade, they have announced a strike across educational institutions in the three hill districts on September 25–26.
