Observer Online Report

The Sajek Karbari Association has dissolved its committee and withdrawn its indefinite road blockade, the organisation's president, Nutan Joy Chakma, announced in a statement on Tuesday.

In the statement, Nutan Joy Chakma alleged that the Sajek Karbari Association and the Sajek People's Rights Protection Committee had been formed at the instigation of the United People's Democratic Front (UPDF) to serve partisan interests.

He also alleged that ordinary people had been intimidated into joining the blockade programme.

He said, the prolonged blockade had disrupted regular communication with Sajek, as well as the supply of food and medicine, causing the greatest suffering to local residents.

Nutan Joy Chakma announced his resignation as president of the Karbari Association, the dissolution of the organisation and the withdrawal of the indefinite blockade.

He further said, the decision had been taken in consideration of the rights, security and broader interests of ordinary people in Sajek, rather than any political interests.

The indefinite road blockade in Sajek was launched by two UPDF-backed organisations the Sajek Karbari Association and the Sajek People's Rights Protection Committee over five demands, including the removal of members of the Parbatya Chattagram Jana Samhati Samiti (PCJSS) from Sajek.

On the 19th day of the blockade, the Sajek Karbari Association withdrew its support for the programme.

However, no immediate reaction was available from the People's Rights Protection Committee.
