Many residents of remote villages in the 122 unions of the Chittagong Hill Tracts are unaware that the voter list update process has begun.

The motorcycle theft syndicate in Bandarban has become active once again. Reports of motorcycle theft are being recorded daily in the district headquarters and surrounding areas.
