CHT cantonments will handle all security issues: minister

Dhaka, Sep 9 (bdnews24.com)—Armed forces stationed at the six Chittagong Hill Tracts cantonments will deal with security issues in the event of deterioration in law and order after pullout of army camps in the region in line with the CHT peace accord, a minister said on Wednesday.

"However, law and order has not worsened in the area over the ongoing withdrawal period, and will continue to remain calm in future," state minister for CHT affairs Dipankar Talukder told reporters after a meeting with Asian Development Bank country director Paul J Heytens at the Secretariat.

Talukder said 63 army camps from the three hill districts had been dismantled since tenure of the last BNP-led alliance government ended. >more> http://bdnews24.com/details.php?id=142301&cid=2
