Movement of all kinds of water transport has been halted between Saint Martin’s Island and Teknaf for the last three days since Friday due to several firing incidents on the boats from Myanmar.
The suspension of trawlers and speed boats on this route triggered a food crisis on the island.
Abdur Rashid, president of the Trawler Owners Association on this route, said they stopped the movement of trawlers due to the insecurity.
Shooting of bullets aimed at our trawlers happened on Thursday and Friday.
On Friday miscreants from Myanmar-side fired bullets at his boat. The crew narrowly escaped from uninjured, Rashid said.
He could not confirm whether it was the Border Guard Police of Myanmar or rebel Arakan Army shooting at them.
These kinds of incidents are happening at the eastuary of Naf River and this is the only way to go to St Martin, he said adding the other way would be through the sea, which is rough and perilous.
