As many as six Mro villages would be evicted and 116 Mro settlements would be adversely affected if the plan of Marriot Hotel and Resort is implemented, said speakers at a virtual conference yesterday.
The conference was organised by Chittagong Hill Tracts Citizens Committee, a group of eminent civil society actors protesting against the proposed establishment of R&R Holdings Ltd in Bandarban.
For the 5-star hotel, two dams have been proposed. One to create a reservoir for swimming and boating, while another will provide water for the operations, speakers claimed.
