Journalists in Bandarban yesterday formed a human chain on the office premises of the Deputy Commissioner protesting 'secret' move to deprive the newsmen of land allotted to them through their local association. The journalists alleged that an official order was issued 'secretly' on April 13 this year 'to correct' the ownership record through which ownership of the 5-acre land allotted to the Bandarban District Sangbadik Samity in 1986 was 'transferred' to 15 non-journalists.
