CHT-TOURISM-THANCHHI-SUSPENSION

Thanchhi UZ temporarily debars tourism for gushing waters in Sangu river

He said the scenario forced the administration to discourage tourists from visiting the upazila for at least 48 hours as the weather condition could as well cause landslides in the hilly areas of the sub-district.

Faisal added all types of waterway transport remained suspended from Monday morning due to gushing waters of the Sangu that originates in the North Arakan Hills of Myanmar and enters into Bangladesh through Thanchhi upazila.

The UNO said tourism spots would be reopened when the weather situation improved and added that tourists who were now staying in Thanchhi were asked to stay indoors or at safer places.
