Keokradong, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the hill district of Bandarban, will not be reopening to visitors on October 1, contrary to earlier announcements.
Deputy commissioner Shamim Ara Rini confirmed the information over mobile phone on Sunday afternoon.
She said, 鈥榃e need to observe more. We have not received the clearance from various departments yet.鈥�
If everything turns out positive, we will inform it by issuing a public notice. It could be on the 1st or a date around it鈥�, she said over phone.
On September 27, during the inauguration of a single-use plastic removal campaign at Meghla Tourist Spot in observance of World Tourism Day, DC Shamim Ara Nipa had initially indicated that Keokradong might reopen on October 1.
However, a final reassessment has since led to the postponement.
Until further notice, travel to Keokradong will remain restricted for tourists.
