The United People's Democratic Front (UPDF) initiated a half-day blockade of roads and waterways in Khagrachari and Rangamati districts, protesting against the alleged attempt to repeal the Chittagong Hill Tracts Regulation, 1900. Starting at 6 am and lasting until 12 pm, the blockade disrupted bus and truck movements to and from Khagrachari. Demonstrators set fire to tree trunks and tires in various areas, including Panchhari, district Sadar, and Dighinala of Khagrachari. The UPDF organized the blockade in response to perceived threats to the Chittagong Hill Tracts Regulation, 1900, as announced during demonstrations held in Rangamati and Khagrachari on Monday.
