The local administration of Rangamati district has extended its order to not to travel to Sajek for three more days till September 30.

Additional District Magistrate Zobaida Akter issued a notice in this regard on Saturday.

According to the notice, the tourists were discouraged from traveling to Sajek from September 25 to 27.

Considering the overall situation in the hill district, the local administration extended the travel ban for three more days.

Some 1500 tourists and 500 drivers and staff got stranded in Sajek under Baghaichari upazila due to the 72-hour strike enfoced by the Pahari Chhatra Janata over the unwanted situation in Khagrachhari, Dighinala and Rangmati.

The resort and cottage owners announced a 75 percent discount for the tourists.

Besides, the tourists also suffered from water, gas and food crises during the strike.
