Chittagong Divisional Commissioner Ruhul Amin has said the people who were involved in the attacks on Adivasis in Langadu will face exemplary punishment. “These [attacks] are heinous, and the attackers will face the music,” he said at a discussion, following a visit to the area on Monday. The district unit of United People’s Democratic Front (UPDF) enforced the seven-hour-long blockade from 5am over the atrocities committed by local Bangali settlers on Friday. Local sources say the panic-stricken Adivasis fear more communal attacks. Later on, Langadu upazila administration formed a three-member committee to investigate the incident.
