UPDF office gutted in Khagrachhari
The office of the United Peoples' Democratic Front (UPDF) including 10 shops in the surrounding area were gutted in a big fire at Logung in Panchhari upazila yesterday, security sources said.
They said that property worth about Tk 30 lakh was gutted.
The UPDF has blamed the Parbatya Chattagram Jana Sanghati Samity (PCJSS) for the incident. Michael Chakma, a central committee leader of the party, said PCJSS has burnt their office to establish supremacy in the area.

More than three clashes occurred over establishment of supremacy in the area on July 20 and 21. UPDF member Kala Chakma was killed and Parbon Chakma was injured in the incidents.
