THE BGB has shut
down Baghaichari Primary School No. 2 in Jatna Mohan
Karbari Para, after it forcibly occupied lands of the Jumma villagers on
14 May, while villagers are being denied access to their homes.
The closure of the
school, previously named Quid-e-Azam Government Primary
School in the days of Pakistan, has affected about 300 students, with
no classes being held.
Meanwhile, 10 of the
18 injured Jumma villagers, who are mostly women, were released from Dighinala
Health Complex on Thursday after medical treatment.
But they have been
denied access to their homes by BGB which has erected barbed wire fence around
the land they occupied for its 51th battalion headquarters.
Even the Jummas whose
lands have not been “acquired” are being denied access to their homes which
have been included within the boundary.
After being denied
access to their homes, a total of 14 Jumma families including those released
from Dighinala Health Complex have now taken shelter
in Babuchara High School.
In the meantime, the
BGB has filed a criminal case against 250 Jumma villagers including Babuchara
Union Council chairman, Sugata Priya Chakma, ex-chairman of the same Council,
Paritosh Chakma and Headman of Dighinala Mouza No. 51, Prantor Chakma.
