The road blockade in Sajek, located in Rangamati district, entered its second consecutive day on Friday as joint forces continued to patrol the area to maintain order. The protest, organized by the Sajek Ganadhikar Rakkha Committee and the Sajek Karbari Association, aims to press three key demands, chiefly the immediate removal of armed members of the Parbatya Chattagram Jana Samhati Samiti (Santu group) from the region and assurances for the security of local residents.

Since the blockade began, there have been no reported disturbances on Friday, in contrast to the previous day when members of the United People's Democratic Front (UPDF) reportedly opened fire during an Army and police operation to evacuate stranded tourists from Sajek Valley in Baghaichari upazila.

The protest groups have indicated that the blockade will remain in place indefinitely until their demands are addressed. To ensure the safety of residents and visitors, the Army, police, and other law enforcement agencies are working together to maintain peace in the area. Rangamati Superintendent of Police Muhd. Abdur Rakib confirmed that security measures have been intensified to help restore normalcy in Sajek.
