The Jumma Chhatra-Janata has called off a blockade that had been enforced for four days in Khagrachhari following unrest triggered by the alleged rape of a Marma teenager. The group added that on Oct 1, a second round of discussions was held with the Khagrachhari district administration, police, and intelligence officials to address recent violence in Khagrachhari and Guimara. Amid the unrest, a ban on gatherings under Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure was imposed on Sept 28 in Guimara. The district administration later formed a five-strong investigation team to probe the Guimara violence. Since then, the unrest in Khagrachhari has died down.
