The Guchchhagram Land Protection Committee alleged attempts to forcibly seize recorded land belonging to Bengali residents in Batnashibir, Taisagara Thanachandra Para and Lalchhari areas of Ramgarh in Khagrachhari. At a press conference at Khagrachhari Press Club on Tuesday, the committee protested the allegations and demanded measures to ensure residents' security.
In a written statement, Md Yunus alleged that outsiders from indigenous communities were attempting the land grabs with direct support from armed UPDF members. Committee leaders said Bengali families who have lived in the areas for a long time were facing attempts to take their recorded land. They said more than 400 families feared losing their homesteads and agricultural land and were unable to visit the areas because of fear of armed people.
The committee called for immediate army camps in Batnashibir, Taisagara Thanachandra Para and Lalchhari. It also sought an investigation into the allegations, necessary legal action, an end to alleged land-grab attempts and effective administrative intervention. Earlier, affected Guchchhagram residents held a human chain and protest march in Ramgarh over the same demands.
