CHT troubled by land rows Land Commission inactive, couldn't resolve a single case since its inception

"The government is sitting on thousands of complaints about land ownerships in the hills as the Chittagong Hill Tracts Land Dispute Resolution Commission has remained inactive since its inception 10 years ago.

The commission was unable to resolve a single dispute in the region.

Land disputes in CHT have become acute as the government neglected the land rights of indigenous people, and conducted sponsored demographic engineering by settling Bangalees in the hills over the past decades, said observers."
