Army personnel allegedly carried out a search
operation at the homes of two villagers in Shuknachara village of Boraitali,
Jorabridge area, under Ward 3 of Kabakhali Union in Khagrachari’s Dighinala
Upazila.
According to local sources, around midnight on Sunday
(23 November 2025), a team of soldiers from the Dighinala Zone raided
Shuknachara village. During the operation, they reportedly broke into the two
houses, entered, and conducted an intensive search. The soldiers are said to
have ransacked the interiors and damaged household belongings.
The residents whose homes were searched are Litton
Chakma (41), son of Shanti Jibon Chakma, and Ratan Chakma (39), son of Jatna
Bikash Chakma.
Despite the extensive search, no illegal items were
found, and the soldiers later returned to their camp.
Locals report that incidents of military harassment,
raids, and intrusive searches have increased in Dighinala in recent weeks. Such
late-night operations have generated fear as well as resentment and frustration
among residents.
Meanwhile, since 18 November, a group of army
personnel has been stationed at a temporary camp set up beside a Buddhist
monastery in Juddho Mohan Karbari Para of Ward 5 under Dighinala Union, from
where they have been conducting patrols in the surrounding areas.
