Pele is visited by JSS senior leaders from Rangamati

Mr. Tatindra Lal Chakma Pele who was released from Khagarachari jail after 16 months on bail has been visited by JSS senior leaders at his home at Khagarachari district headquarters. Mr. Chandra Sekhar Chakma, Central Committee Member who served three consecutive terms for 11 years for the post of General Secretary; Advocate Saktiman Chakma, Central Committee Member and Secretary for Law related Affairs of the immediate past committee; Mr. Rupayan Dewan, Central Committee Member and the Vice-President of the immediate past committee and Mr. Angshuman Chakma, Head, Political Department, Office of the President paid a two-day courtesy visit to Mr. Tatindra Lal Chakma on the 9th instant. They left Rangamti in the morning of the 9th and returned Rangamati in the evening of the next day. Chandra Sekhar Chakma and Rupayan Dewan spent the night at Parjatan motel. They have found Mr. Pele morally strong for his political commitment but have felt the immediate need of medical check-up and treatment.

Moung fails to get back his BD taka 5,000

Ex-combatant Mr. Moung Marma (Suman) visited Rangamati yesterday to meet Mr. Santu Larma for drawing his BD Taka 5,000 lying for the last 11 years. He has been frustrated for failing to meet Mr. Larma. He even had no money for lunch and his return journey to his home at Manikchari of Khagarachari Hill District. Finding no way he visited Mr. Rupayan Dewan and Mr. Chandra Sekhar Chakma, two JSS senior figures for money. They both have helped him return home and have food.

This is noteworthy that each ex-combatant received BD Taka 50,000 from the Government soon after their coming to over ground, for meeting up their immediate needs. And the JSS immediately raised a business fund from all of them with shares of BD Taka 5,000 each. Similarly, Moung also bought a share and now wants to get it back to negotiate his serious financial crisis. Like Moung many such ex-combatants visit Mr. Larma for the same purpose. Most unfortunately, the establishment of the promised business institution or business initiative is yet to be seen.

Moung actually came to Rangamati for getting back the share-money and also know about the latest status of the UNDP-CHTDF’s ex-combatant rehabilitation programme. This blogg published a news on Moung on 11th August this year narrating his serious financial crisis.
