Time for submitting application extended

Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) Land Commission at its second meeting here yesterday extended the time until further announcement for submitting application to resolve land disputes in the hill districts.

The meeting was held at Rangamati Circuit House amid road blockade called by the five organisations of Bangalee settlers in Rangamati and Khagrachhari.

The meeting decided to extend time as many could not submit their application yet, said Anwar-ul Haque, chairman of CHT Land Commission. He said the commission has received 15,669 applications so far.

Chairman of the CHT Regional Council Jotirindra Bodhipriya Larma and Chakma Circle Chief Raja Debashish Roy were present.
