providing security services to 10 areas including Dighinala upazilasince 1988.
Dighinala Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Moniruzzaman Miah confirmed the demolition work of the camp that started this morning.
"I think the law and order will not worsen after the pullout and civil administration along with police is always ready to check any situation," he said.
The government on July 29 announced it would dismantle one brigade of troops and 35 temporary security camps from CHT areas by September. The pullout started on Friday with a camp in Manikchhari under Laxmichhari army zone in Khagrachhari.
And the next day, two more camps under Laxmichhari army zone in Khagrachhari— one at Magaichhari and the other at Dashbill-- were withdrawn.
PETITION AGAINST PULLOUT
Meanwhile, a Supreme Court lawyer yesterday filed a petition with the High Court (HC), seeking injunction to restrain the government from withdrawing the army and their camps from hill districts.
Advocate Tajul Islam filed the supplementary petition
with a pending writ petition that he had filed back in 2007 challenging the legality of signing the CHT Peace Accord with the erstwhile "Shanti Bahini" in 1997.
The petition stated that if the army camps are withdrawn from CHT districts, the Border Security Forces (BSF) of India and Myanmar's terrorist groups will intrude into the territory of Bangladesh and the country's border will be insecure.
After holding a brief hearing, a HC bench of Justice Syed Refaat Ahmed and Justice Moyeenul Islam Chowdhury fixed August 16 for further hearing on the petition.
Barrister Abdur Razzaq argued for the petitioner, while Attorney General Mahbubey Alam stood on the government side.
Responding to the writ petition filed by Tajul Islam, the HC on August 27, 2007, issued a rule upon the government to explain why the CHT Peace Accord signed with the "Shanti Bahini" in 1997 should not be declared unlawful.
The writ petition said the peace treaty questioned the integrity and sovereignty of the state and it is also tantamount to a breach of the constitution.
