Organizers said restrictions imposed by the Forest Department and local military authorities had prevented students from using the classrooms.<\/p>\n<p>The faculty decided to begin indoor classes at 10:00 AM on Monday, citing the difficulties faced by students and teachers in continuing lessons in temporary facilities.<\/p>\n<p>However, officials arrived at the site before classes began.<\/p>\n<p>At around 9:00 AM, a joint contingent led by Baghaihat Army Zone Second-in-Command (2IC) Major\/Lt. Col. Md. Salman arrived in the Ujo Bazar area in two pickup trucks. The group included Zone Field Intelligence personnel and Baghaihat Range Assistant Forest Officer Md. Rifat Hossain.<\/p>\n<p>According to Sajek College Governing Body member Babudhan Chakma, the 2IC told him that classes could not be held inside the building without coordination with the army zone and compliance with conditions set by the authorities.<\/p>\n<p>Chakma said he rejected the conditions, arguing that the college had been funded and built by local residents and should be administered by their elected representatives.<\/p>\n<p>The officer subsequently asked Chakma to discuss the matter with the Zone Commanding Officer before leaving the area. The teachers nevertheless proceeded with classes inside the building.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OFFICIALS VISIT DURING CLASSES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Around noon, another delegation arrived at the college while classes were underway. The delegation included Baghaichhari Upazila Non-Formal Education Officer Samabesh Chakma, Machalong Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Md. Tofazzal, military intelligence personnel, Rangamati Forest Department Assistant Conservator of Forests (ACF) Md.
