A NEW cultural organization styled “Sajek Cultural Team” has been formed in Sajek, with the aim to create consciousness among the people about their fundamental rights through entertainment.
The organization came into being at a meeting yesterday at Nandaram of Sajek in Rangmati district. Sajek witnessed the worst kind of violence in the last few years – including an arson attack on a dozen Jumma villages in February last year.
A 19-member committee was elected to lead the organization, with Nilamoy Chakma as its Director, Binoy Chakma as Assistant Director, Udayan Chakma as General Secretary and Biddut Alo Chakma as Communications Secretary.
The new organization will also work hard to preserve the cultural heritage of the Jumma people, Nilamoy Chakma said.
An advisory committee was also formed for the organization. The advisors are Gyanendu Chakma, Jyoti Lal Karbari, Jotsna Rabi Chakma and Ompika Chakma.
