Since Monday (August 11), a large-scale military operation has been underway in various areas of Kaukhali Upazila in Rangamati district.

Yesterday, Tuesday (August 12) around 4 PM, a group of army personnel from the Godarpar Army Camp in Betbunia arrived at the Chowdhury Para Government Primary School, located in Ward 9 of Betbunia Union, and stayed there overnight. This morning (Wednesday), the group moved to Dhupchari Bazar and has been patrolling various areas.

It has been reported that they are also checking people's mobile phones. Locals say the army is questioning people about their names, addresses, and the whereabouts of UPDF (United People's Democratic Front) members.

Meanwhile, another group of army personnel from the Bottoli Army Camp in Kaukhali visited Hirakazi Hill yesterday afternoon and then stayed overnight at the Shuknachari Government Primary School in Ward 4 of Fatikchari Union. That team is now stationed in Headman Para of the Dabbua area today (Wednesday).

Earlier, on Monday (August 11), two army teams from the Furamon and Champatoli Army Camps in Ghagra came and stayed overnight at the Junumachara Government Primary School. On Tuesday, they patrolled throughout the day in Kozoichari, Levapara, and Chelachara before returning to their respective camps in the afternoon.

These periodic military operations across the Kaukhali area have created widespread anxiety, apprehension, and resentment among the local population.

In a related development, on Wednesday, a group of armed individuals under the leadership of Balya Chakma — a member of the army-backed vigilante group — attempted to abduct Lakshmi Bhushan Chakma, a farmer, from Ghagra Bazar. He is a resident of Upor Para village in Kozoichari, Ghagra Union.

However, according to the latest report received at the time of writing (12 noon), due to pressure from the public and local elders, the vigilantes were forced to release him.
