A total of 78 tourists stranded in Sajek due to continuous rainfall in Khagrachhari were brought back under special arrangements. The evacuation took place on Friday with the assistance of the army and police, using boats and rafts to ensure their safe departure from the area.

Authorities stated that other tourists remain in Sajek as water on the roads has not yet receded, preventing normal vehicular movement. They assured that once road conditions improve, the remaining stranded visitors will also be safely returned in phases.

The situation highlights the impact of persistent rain on travel and safety in the hilly region, with officials prioritizing emergency needs in the ongoing rescue efforts.
