Cox Bazaar Development Authority Executive Magistrate Abu Zafar Rashed said the eviction campaign was successful in a second attempt since noon on Saturday. Earlier on Thursday, the administration once again obstructed merchants while evicting these establishments. At that time they were given time until Friday.
On April 10, 2016, the Cox’s Bazar Development Authority issued a notice to vacate 52 illegally constructed structures at Sugandha Point. On April 17 of that year, local businessman Jasim Uddin filed a lawsuit in high court on behalf of 52 entrepreneurs. The court issued an order suspending the eviction. Later, when the Land Ministry filed a request with the court, it rejected the suspension order on October 1 and ordered the immediate eviction of the illegal structures.
Abu Jafar said the district administration and the Cox’s Bazar Development Authority had cleared the illegal structures in the first phase last Thursday afternoon following an order from a higher court. At this time, the miking is done until 3 pm to remove the belongings of the business organization. But traders want more time. The eviction campaign was postponed until Saturday afternoon.
“The administration requested the second phase of eviction on Saturday afternoon. At this moment the merchants interrupted. At one point, the merchants began to protest with shrouds. In this situation, if you want to vacate the facilities, there is a persecution among the Police and merchants The merchants began throwing bricks at the police from three directions. To control the situation, the police fired tear gas projectiles and target shots. At least 10 people, including journalists, were injured.
At one point, when the merchants withdrew, the facility was vacated. All facilities were evacuated at 6 pm.
Sadar Circle Additional Police Superintendent Pankaj Barua said police arrested eight people involved in obstructing the eviction campaign and clashes. Furthermore, cases are being prepared to hinder the government’s work and attack.
