Deputy Commissioner (DC) Mohammad Mosharraf Hossain Khan withdrew the restriction through a notification around 11:00 am on Sunday.
The notification said, “As the law and order situation has normalised, the deputy commissioner and district magistrate of Rangamati Hill District hereby lift Section 144 from 11:00 am on Sunday.”
Although the district administration has lifted the Section 144 restrictions, leaders of the Rangamati Transport Owners’ Association said that the ongoing transport strike will continue.
