Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday has arrived in Cox's Bazaar to
visit the sites of Sep 29 communal violence in Ramu Upazila.
She left Dhaka for Cox's Bazaar around 8:45am on a special plane from Kurmitola Air Base and landed here around 10:15am. Then she straight headed to Ramu.
Hasina is expected to return to Cox's Bazar from Ramu around 1pm after visiting the affected areas.
The PM will meet with senior officials and political leaders at Cox's Bazaar Circuit House to discuss the overall situation in the area. She is expected to leave Cox's Bazaar around 4pm.
Religious fanatics, apparently stirred up by a Facebook post allegedly defaming the Quran, attacked Buddhist locality in Ramu on Sep 29. At least seven Buddhist monasteries, 30 houses and shops were vandalised, looted and torched during the overnight frenzy.
The string of violence continued the following day as similar attacks took place in Chittagong's Patia, and Cox's Bazaar's Ukhia and Teknaf upazilas.
Hasina, who was in US to attend the UN General Assembly at that time, strongly criticised the attacks and ordered strict measures against the people responsible for the hate attack.
