Cox's Bazar, one of the world's longest natural sea beaches, is facing a new threat as influential groups have allegedly occupied portions of the public shoreline to set up exclusive "private beaches."
Local sources report that public access to these encroached areas is being restricted, severely limiting space for general tourists and visitors who come to enjoy the open coast.

Environmental activists and concerned citizens have strongly condemned the illegal occupation, calling for immediate administrative intervention and rigorous eviction drives to restore public access and protect the natural beauty of the coastal tourist hub.
