The Rangamati District Administration has issued a notification discouraging tourists from visiting Sajek under Baghaichari Upazila of Rangamati due to the fear of deterioration of law and order in the ongoing situation in the hills.
An instruction letter in this regard was issued on Tuesday (December 3) night.
The letter signed by Additional District Magistrate of the Rangamati District Administration, Jobaida Akhter, mentioned that in view of the appropriate matters, the overall law and order situation in Sajek and its surrounding areas of Baghaichhari Upazila of Rangamati Hill District and the safety of tourists in these areas, tourists have been discouraged from visiting the Sajek tourism center on December 4.
The issued letter stated that this is a request for everyone's information and with instructions to take necessary measures.
Meanwhile, local sources in Sajek have informed that tribal regional party terrorists, who have been fighting for dominance in the hills in recent times, are engaging in gunfights to expand their dominance.
On Tuesday, several thousand rounds of gunfire were exchanged from morning to noon. The sound of sporadic gunfire created an extremely panic situation throughout the local Baghaichhari upazila.
The Rangamati district administration authorities have issued this ban to avoid any unpleasant situation during the arrival of tourists during the upcoming holidays.
