CHT talks resume today: Agreed minutes likely

By Special Correspondent
The seventh round of negotiations between the National Committee on Chittagong Hill Tracts (NCCHT) and the Par-battya Chattagram Jana Sang-hati (PCJSS) begins in the city today.
According to highly-placed sources, the NCCHT will try to break the standoff between the two sides on the proposed Regional Council (RC) and other issues.
Besides, the authority of the RC to administer the lands in Chittagong Hill Tracts, absorption of PCJSS armed cadres in police and security forces upon their demobilisation and resettlement of settlers elsewhere from the tribal lands have been
dogging the prospects of a breakthrough.

Ataur Rahman Khan Kaiser and Mosharraf Hossain. MP, two members of the NCCHT. will accompany the PCJSS delegation from Dudukchhara. the sources said.
Earlier yesterday, the Jatiya Sammonoy Committee for the Ekatturer Ghatak Dalal Nirmul Committee held a rally to martial support for a peace accord between the NCCHT and the PCJSS at the Central Shahid Minar In the city.
The Mayor of Chittagong and a member of the NCCHT ABM Mohiuddin Chowdhury will lead a rally at Chittagong city today in support of the peace effort.
