The road blockade in Rangamati's Sajek tourist center has impacted Khagrachari's tourism industry as well. Due to the indefinite blockade called by two local organizations, the tourist center has been closed since October 22. As a result of zero tourists in Khagrachari, at least 3,000 transport workers including jeep, pickup, and Mahendra drivers have become unemployed.
On Wednesday, no tourists were seen at various tourist spots in the district. With vehicles traveling from Khagrachari to Sajek being grounded, drivers and assistants have lost their income and are in distress. Unable to pay installments and debts, they are spending their days in extreme hardship.
Ayuş Chakma, president of the Parbatya Paribahan Malik Samity, stated that with transport to Sajek halted, at least three thousand drivers and assistants in the district are spending their days unemployed. Workers and owners have urged the administration to quickly resolve the crisis and reopen the tourist center.
