Conspiracy to grab land in Boroitali alleged

Conspiracy to grab land in Boroitali alleged

April 4, 2011


THE chief organizer of the United Peoples’ Democratic Front (UPDF)

Khagrachari district unit, Pradipan Khisha, has alleged that a vested
interest group has begun a conspiracy to grab hundreds of acres of
land belonging to Jumma people in Boroitali under Manikchari Upazila
in Khagrachari district.

Mr Khisha expressed deep concern about it and urged the local

administration to take necessary steps to protect the lands of the
Jumma villagers.

He said a group of Border Guards Bangladesh (BGB), accompanied by

Kongjori Chowdhuri, headman of Boroitali Mouza, visited Boroitali
yesterday and videoed and took photographs of the land they want to
occupy for Bengali settlement.

Earlier in 2009, the settlers had made an unsuccessful attempt to

occupy the said land.

Pradipan Khisha said the vested interest group is trying to push the

CHT situation towards confrontation by instigating the settlers to
grab land in Boroitali a few days before Boisabi, the biggest festival
of the Jumma people.
