Earlier on 21 September, the 72-hour strike enforced by the Pahari Chhatra Janata in protest of the situation in Khagrachhari, Dighinala, and Rangmati had left approximately 1,500 tourists and 500 support staff stranded in Sajek under Baghaichari upazila.
To mitigate the impact, resort and cottage owners announced a 75% discount for stranded tourists. Additionally, the tourists faced shortages of water, gas, and food supplies during this period.
