The Bandarban district administration has extended the temporary ban on travel to Ruma, Rowangchari, Alikadam and Thanchi upazilas of Bandarban till November 8 due to security reasons.
It is said in the circular that considering the safety of tourists, the travel ban for local and foreign tourists has been increased in four upazilas.
