Army pullout
The Bangladesh government has taken a decision lately that whole one brigade of Bangladesh military would be pulled out from the Chittagong Hill Tracts area. The decision has created mix reaction throughout the country, especially in that CHT region. People have been experiencing that law and order situation is much better with the army deployment in the region. One the other hand, their presence made indigenous people unhappy.
In any case, the government has the right to take the decision as to where to deploy the army and from where it should be withdrawn. But general people's concern is about law and order in the region. How the government will ensure security of the settlers is a good question but the answer might not be satisfactory. Would the government send BDR or Rab or police to reinforce law enforcement in the region?
