BGB inspect Chaltachara mouza to set up a camp on indigenous land in Matiranga

On 6 May 2014, Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) led by Lt. Cornel Mokhlesur Rahman surveyed 207 Chaltachara mouza in Matiranga, Khagrachari district.

BGB surveyed the land to acquire it for establishing a camp on this land. The BGB commander arranged the paper documents for settlement on the land. However, at present any kind of land settlement is not allowed in CHT.

India was partitioned on the basis of religion in 1947. 98.5% of the CHT population was non-Muslim in 1947. The indigenous people of CHT opted to join either India or Burma. But Muslim League conspired with the Boundary Commission and illegally annexed CHT with East Pakistan in violation of the principle of partition. Successive Bangladesh governments have been sponsoring Muslim settlers from plain land to dilute the indigenous people of CHT. Bangladesh army's role is to protect the Muslim settlers and carry out ethnic cleansing against indigenous people in CHT.

Bangladesh army can arbitrarily confiscate indigenous people's land with the excuse of establishing military camps. Needless to say Chittagong Hill Tracts is one of the most militarized region on earth. Bangladesh army can harass and intimidate the indigenous people from these camps until indigenous people leave their villages and homes. After indigenous people leave, Bangladesh army settles Muslim settlers in their villages. Their aim is to Islamize Chittagong Hill Tracts by terror.
