Shipping Adviser Brig Gen (retd) Dr. M Sakhawat Hossain
Shipping Adviser Brig Gen (retd) Dr. M Sakhawat Hossain emphasized the need for government-led discussions to address the ongoing issues in the hill areas, urging a focus on identifying the root causes.
"Bandarban has long been a symbol of peace and harmony, but the recent rise in terrorist activities has caused widespread concern," he told reporters after visiting a Buddhist orphanage in Bandarban town on Friday.
Stressing the importance of involving experienced individuals to restore peace, the adviser said, “It is time for everyone to unite and resolve the situation."
Sakhawat also mentioned that the government is considering establishing a land port at Ghumdhum in Teknaf to boost trade with Myanmar.
Following the program, the adviser planted trees at the Buddhist orphanage.
Among those present were Army's Bandarban Region Commander Brigadier General Rakib Ibne Rezwan, Joint Secretary of the Ministry of Labor ASM Ashraful Islam, Zilla Parishad Chairman Professor Thanjama Lusai, Deputy Commissioner Shamim Ara Rini, and Superintendent of Police Md. Shahidullah Kawsar.
