City Desk :
Tourists now can visit Sajek Valley and Khagrachhari as the authorities have lifted month long tourism restriction on these two popular tourist destinations on Tuesday.
“All tourist centres in the district are now open, with Sajek Valley reachable via the Khagrachhari district road,” Khagrachhari Deputy Commissioner Md Shahiduzzaman told journalists here on Tuesday.
The reopening of Sajek Valley and Khagrachhari is expected to revitalize tourism in the area.
The local administration imposed restriction initially imposed on September 25 due to violence in Khagrachhari and Rangamati on September 19 and 20.
The restriction was expanded to a complete tourism pause on October 8 across the three hill districts.
The Sajek Cottage Owners Association and Khagrachhari Residential Hotel Owners Association welcomed the reopening of the tourist centres in Sajek Valley and Khagrachhari areas that rely largely on visitors.
