KHAGRACHHARI, Aug 22, 2025 (BSS) – Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) Affairs Adviser Supradip Chakma laid foundation stone of a hostel at Kamalchhari Pilot High School in the district this afternoon.

 “The boys and girls of the CHT are achieving significant success in sports. Especially the hill girls are showing their skills and talents and are achieving success in the country and abroad, which is a matter of great pride for us,” he told the founding laying ceremony as the chief guest.

Supradip said that due to the development of roads in remote hilly areas, people are now able to move around without any problems and it is possible to transport manufactured goods easily.

He asked the concerned authorities to quickly repair and reconstruct the dilapidated government primary school building adjacent to Kamalchhari Pilot High School. 

He also emphasized on the construction of hostels to improve the educational environment and the infrastructural development of primary schools.

Later, the adviser visited the Parbatya Buddhist Mission (PBM) complex, Parbatya Buddhist Mission Pali College premises, Maple House Girls Hostel and the orphanage building. Currently, the activities of these institutions remain closed.
