Recent violence and fatalities in the Chittagong hill tracts of Bangladesh have prompted the government to form a high-powered probe committee to investigate the incidents. A high-level delegation is set to visit the affected areas to address the situation and ensure peace.
The Inter-Services Public Relation Directorate (ISPR) has appealed for cooperation from the public to maintain harmony in the three hill districts and calm the ongoing tension. The interim government has also instructed law enforcement agencies to exercise restraint and ensure the safety of residents.
Concerns have been raised about the potential for severe riots following clashes that resulted in at least four fatalities. Section 144 has been imposed in certain areas to control the unrest. The recent incidents, including a lynching and an attack on a procession, have escalated tensions in the region.
The army has been deployed to control the situation, with clashes resulting in several injuries and fatalities. The government is taking steps to investigate and address the root causes of the violence to restore peace in the affected areas.
