The group calling itself the “Port Protection Committee Chattogram” has announced a protest programme calling the initiative to hand over the responsibility of operating the New Mooring Container Terminal (NCT) and Chittagong Container Terminal (CCT) of Chittagong Port to domestic and foreign companies a “conspiracy”.

The committee, comprising labour leaders, politicians, engineers and citizens from different classes and professions, held a press conference at the Chattogram Press Club on Sunday and announced the programme.
