KHAGRACHARI, Oct 1, 2025 (BSS) - Khagrachari is gradually getting normal after suspension of the indefinite road-blockade programme over an alleged rape incident in the district.

Khagrachari Sadar Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Abdul Baten Mridha said people's life is returning to normal after Jumma Chhatra-Janata called off the blockade till October 5.

The organization said in its Facebook page that the road cease programme was suspended by getting assurance from administration for implementation of their eight-point demands and for Hindu community's smooth celebration of Durga Puja.
 
Traffic is seen plying as no untoward incident has occurred anywhere, the OC said. 
 
A number of long-distance vehicles left the district in the morning, but it has not started in full swing.

Passengers' presence at bus counters has increased as limited movement of vehicles has also started in the city and suburbs. Shops are seen opening after 4 days.

However, section 144 issued by the district administration remains in force as additional security measures continue in Khagrachari and Guimara. 

Army, BGB and police surveillance is underway in the areas.
 
Meanwhile, a five-member probe committee has been formed to investigate the recent incidents in Khagrachari and Guimara.
