Villagers in three unions of Bandarban and Cox’s Bazar are living in fear as they heard fresh gunshots and shelling inside Myanmar where a fight between the Myanmar Army and Arakan Army rages on.
Nine government officials, including the secretary of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, the deputy commissioner of Cox's Bazar, and the superintendent of police, have been charged with contempt of court for failing to follow the High Court's 2012 orders to stop hill razing in the district.
