21st anniv of CHT Peace Accord today


The 21st anniversary of Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) Peace Accord is today (Sunday). The treaty was signed on December 2, 1997 between the government and the Parbatya Chattogram Jana Sanghati Samity (PCJSS) during the first tenure of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, ending bloody conflicts in three hill districts. The then Jatiya Sangsad Chief Whip Abul Hasnat Abdullah signed the agreement on behalf of the government and Jotindra Bodhipriyo Larma (Santu Larma) on behalf of PCJSS. — BSS
