Ex-combatants go to the 19th floor

Ms. Reneta L.Dessallien, UN Resident Coordinator and UNDP Resident Representative reiterates her commitment to start the implementation of the CHT ex-combatants on last 19th. This reiteration comes in a meeting with Mr. Rupayan Dewan, focal person of the ex-combatants and also a Councillor of the CHT Regional Council at 15.15 hrs at 19th floor, IDB building in Dhaka.

Ms. Reneta had directed the Project Director, UNDP-CHTDF, Mr. Patrick Sweeting to receive Mr. Dewan and discuss on the issue and start the rehabilitation. Mr. Dewan, accordingly, had sat with Mr. Patrick Sweeting and Mr. Prasenjt Chakma, Chief, Policies and Confidence Building the same day at 16.30 hrs. at 7th floor, the office of the UNDP-CHTDF. There has been a very positive discussion which yielded a positive initial plan and the actual plan would be concretized in September.

In response to a question of the CHT Ex-Combatants Mr. Dewan replies “Now I am confident on the fielding of the rehabilitation programme by UNDP. Of course, the voice of the ex-combatants is a requisite condition to get quality rehabilitation.”
