Rangamati, Jan 24 (bdnews24.com)—Tension ran high in this hilly town after a land dispute sparked clashes between Bengali settlers and indigenous people on Saturday evening.
Officials said an alleged bid by the Bangalee settlers brought the two battling parties face to face at Baghaihat bazaar, but police and army intervened to tame the two groups.
"The army along with the police have brought the situation under control," Sourendro Nath Chakravarty, the Rangamati deputy commissioner, told bdnews24.com.
Locals said the clashes began at around 8:30pm and continued well beyond the midnight.
Allegations say the Bengalis have been trying to build households at Baghaihat and Gangarammukh under Sajek union. >more> http://bdnews24.com/details.php?id=151845&cid=2
