The meeting reviewed preparations for implementing the programme, with necessary instructions already circulated to the party's local branches.At the meeting, party leaders also expressed deep concern over the reported blockade in Sajek, a popular tourist destination in the Chattogram Hill Tracts, and called on the government to take immediate steps to restore security and normalcy in the area.The leaders alleged that armed groups in the Khagrachhari and Rangamati regions had created a worsening humanitarian situation through the blockade, while the administration had failed to ensure peace.
