The Bangladesh Army conducted operations in three locations within Ramgarh and Manikchari upazilas of Khagrachari district.
According to sources, on Friday evening (October 17, 2025) around 7:00 PM, army personnel carried out operations in the areas of Natun Bazar, Jogya Chola, and School Para in Ramgarh upazila, where they also stayed overnight. This sparked panic among local residents.
Eyewitnesses in the area reported that the army used a total of eight vehicles for the operation: four in Ramgarh’s Natun Bazar, two in Ward No. 3 of Jogya Chola Union in Manikchari upazila, and two in School Para. Locals estimate that approximately 100 soldiers took part in the operation.
Although the army did not conduct house searches in the areas mentioned, they reportedly subjected local people to various forms of harassment including interrogation. Locals also alleged that some individuals were offered financial incentives in exchange for information about the United People’s Democratic Front (UPDF).
As of the time of writing this report (11:00 AM), it has been learned that army patrols are ongoing in the Haarichara and Barotila areas of Ramgarh.
Such army operations have caused deep concern and fear among residents. The local population has strongly condemned these actions and demanded an immediate end to the military operations.
