The other decision which was taken in the seminar was to make city forest fee and for the development of the water drainages system 5 sub committee based on different area was formed by the member of the committee. The name of Jervis and Rassel was also enlisted in the committee. A request was forwarded to the magistrate so that the prisoners can be appointed within the sub committee and their labor can be utilized in the development works. The members of the sub committee were provided with accommodations within the city so that they can look after and distribute the development work in a proper way. Without wasting any time and to start off with work from the next Monday, resolution for the appointment of the prisoners in the sub committee was again taken. Since there will be fund crisis after the starting of the development work, so the secretary was requested to make arrangement for funds from the Lt. Governors committed amount of ten thousand taka.

Chittagong Hill Tracts

Chittagong Hill Tracts

The early history of the Chittagong Hill Tracts, a part of the Chin National Territory, is a record of constantly recurring raids on the part of the eastern hill tribes, and of the operations undertaken to repress them. The earliest mention of these raids is to be found in a letter from the Chief of Chittagong to Warren Hastings, the Governor-General, dated April to, 1777,' complaining of the violence and aggressions of a mountaineer, the leader of a band of Kukis or Lushais ; and that they continued without any long intermission down to 1891 when the Lushai Hills were annexed to British territory. The recorded population increased from 69,607 in 1872 to 101,597 in 1881, to 107,286 in 1891, and to 124,762 in 1901. The Census of 1872 was, however, very imperfect, and the actual growth of population has probably not exceeded what might be expected in a sparsely inhabited but fairly healthy tract.[2] on the time of parthion Chittagong Hill Tracts had a majority non-Muslim population of 97% (most of them Buddhists), but was given to Pakistan. The Chittagong Hill Tracts People's Association (CHTPA) petitioned the Bengal Boundary Commission that, since the CHTs were inhabited largely by non-Muslims, they should remain within India.[citation needed] Since they had no official representation, there was no official discussion on the matter, and many on the Indian side assumed the CHT would be awarded to India.On 15 August 1947, many of the tribes did not know to which side of the border they belonged. On 17 August, the publication of the Radcliffe Award put the CHTs in Pakistan. The rationale of giving the Chittagong Hill Tracts to Pakistan was that they were inaccessible to India and to provide some buffer area to Chittagong (now in Bangladesh), a major city and port; it was also argued that its only approach was through Chittagong."Two days later, the CHTPA resolved not to abide by the award and hoisted the Indian flag. The Pakistani army dealt with the protest but the problem has not yet been solved.
