Parbatya Chattagram Jana Sanghati Samity (PCJSS) yesterday announced road and river-ways blockade in Rangamati district on June 13 and 14, demanding re-voting at a polling centre under Bhusonchhara union of the district's Barakal upazila.

PCJSS Rangamti unit Secretary Suborno Chakma announced the blockade programme at a rally at the district town's gymnasium field yesterday morning.

Addressing the rally as chief guest PCJSS chief Jyotirindra Bodhipriya Larma alias Santu Larma reiterated the demand for full implementation of CHT Peace Accord. "Law enforcers directly worked for the AL's candidate by preventing indigenous people from casting their votes at Chhoto Harina Government Primary School centre." he alleged.

Santu demanded repolling at the centre. Otherwise, he threatened to continue the ongoing agitation programme. PCJSS has been continuing the riverways blockade programme in the district since June 7 to press the demand for re-voting at the centre.
