A day later, on the 20th anniversary of the agreement, Larma, president of United People’s Party of the Chittagong Hill Tracts, accused the government of neglecting the situation. Now we find, in her words, the deprivation, exploitation and oppression of the hill people.”The Ministry of Chittagong Hill Tract Affairs is ‘cheating’ the people of the peace accord, he said. Larma also expressed his anger that the Chittagong Region Council law and infrastructural development had not been implemented. We have repeatedly said that everything can be implemented with the support of the United People’s Party of the Chittagong Hill Tracts. But they are not listening.”Regional councils for the three hill districts can be formed after a separate voter list was formed for voters in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, he said.
