PCJSS seeks PM's intervention to restore peace in hills

Parbatya Chattagram Jana Sanghati Samity on Monday sought direct intervention of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to restore peace in Chittagong Hill Tracts that turned unstable following Saturday's violence in Baghaichhari of Rangamati.

At a rally organised to protest killing indigenous people in Baghaihat, the indigenous leaders accused army of killing people and setting fire to nine villages at Baghaihat under Baghaichhari upazila.

The PCJSS, a platform of the indigenous people living in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, demanded deployment of additional police forces to replace army and immediate withdrawal of Baghaihat army zone. >more> http://www.thedailystar.net/newDesign/latest_news.php?nid=22349
