Several hundred residents of Bhatiary under Sitakunda upazila in Chittagong formed a human chain and held a protest rally on Saturday, protesting at a Bangladesh Military Academy move to acquire their lands.
Local lawmaker ABM Abul Kashem Master joined the rally, expressing solidarity with the demand.
Addressing the rally, Abul Kashem said the illogical and unnecessary acquiring of people's land at Bhatiary by would be resisted by any means.
He said the BMA already had huge lands in the hilly areas of Bhatiary mouza and if the authorities needed more lands, they could acquire lands from the hills.
Chaired by the newly elected chairman of Bhatiary Union Parishad Nurul Anwar, the rally was addressed by upazila chairman Abdullah Al Baker Bhuiyan and former chairman Mohammad Ishak among others.
