News No. 38\/2010, February 21, 2010<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rioch Chakma, ex-president of Hill Students Council, has described the present situation in Sajek as terrible.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He made this comment during an interview with chtnews.com after visiting the area along with a group of Buddhist monks today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following is what he has to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About one hundred Jumma people gathered in Gangaram when we reached there. We saw fire is still smoldering and smokes billowing. The trace of brutality is everywhere. But the houses of the settlers are completely unscathed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only one or two huts they had built in Gangaram on Jumma\u2019s land have been burnt; but the Jummas allege that the settlers themselves set fire to them to make the whole incident look like a \u201cPahari-Bangalee clash\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the jungles have been burnt to ashes. People said at least three hundred houses including three Buddhist temples and one church have been completely burnt down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The villagers are without food, clothes and drinking water. They need these necessities on an urgent basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are trying to survive on bananas burnt. Many said they did not eat anything since the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They said 10 \u2013 12 are still missing in Guchchagram and a few more from Gangaram shooting. No body knows exactly how many have been killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The people saw the settlers carrying away four dead bodies today. I saw two dead bodies my self \u2013 that of Laxmipudi Chakma and Laxmi Bijoy Chakma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Bongoltoli, where some of the victims have taken shelter, about seven hundred people gathered when we reached there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The victims handed over the dead body of Laxmi Bijoy to Dipankar Talukder MP, who also visited the spot today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His dead body was recovered today from a jungle near Guchchagram. A bullet pierced his abdomen making a hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we were coming back, some people told us that the army were chasing Jumma villagers in Guchchagram. This happened at about 3:30pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also heard that the UNO of Baghaichari had faced public anger at Hajachara. The angry mob smashed the windowpane of his vehicle. This took place at about 2:30pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real picture is yet to emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
