TENSIONS flared up in Betchari of Khagrachari district yesterday when Bengali settlers made an unsuccessful attempt to grab land belonging to Jumma villagers.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to sources, at about 8am, a group of 20 \u2013 25 Bengali settlers led by Sobhan from Bhuachari cluster village began to clear jungle on lands belonging to Jumma people in Middle Betchari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe settlers began cutting jungles from near the house of Nitimoy Chakma, 35, son of Mokkapeda Chakma,\u201d an eyewitness told chtnews.com<\/a>, adding that the settlers had later destroyed the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that as the Jumma villagers resisted the marauding settlers ran away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the incident, army personnel have been deployed to the hotspot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bengali settlers had been trying to grab the land for a long time. Couples of months ago, the Risho Kosei Kai, a Japan-based International Buddhist development organization, set up a branch office on that piece of land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But on 8 May, the settlers destroyed the foundation stone of Risho Kosei Kai and pulled down its signboard, and on 16 July, they tore down the under-construction structure of Rissho Kosei Kai\u2019s Khagrachari branch office, defying a police order urging status quo in respect of the said land.
