Bandarban, July 20 – Foreign Affairs Advisor Md. Touhid Hossain has stated that the implementation of the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) Peace Accord, now 27 years old, cannot be achieved overnight. "It has taken nearly three decades, and it's unrealistic to expect sudden implementation. Neither you should expect that, nor do we," he remarked at a public event in Bandarban.
He emphasized the government’s commitment to promoting peace and development in the region. Highlighting concerns about the quality of education, he criticized the excessive competition for GPA-5, saying it has compromised academic standards.
Hill Affairs Advisor Supradip Chakma also addressed the gathering, noting that extreme poverty remains widespread across the three hill districts. "Despite government allocations, poor implementation and misuse have led to funds being returned unutilized," he said.
The event concluded with the distribution of saplings, livestock, sewing machines, and health-related financial support to local farmers and women, aimed at boosting livelihoods and social welfare in the region.
‘পার্বত্য শান্তি চুক্তির ২৭ বছর হয়েছে, কাজেই চট করে বাস্তবায়ন করে ফেলতে পারব, আপনারাও প্রত্যাশা করবেন না, আমরাও করি না। বর্তমান সরকার গুরুত্বসহকারে চাচ্ছে এ অঞ্চলে পরিপূর্ণভাবে শান্তি প্রতিষ্ঠিত হোক, যাতে করে অর্থনৈতিকভাবে সামনের দিকে এগিয়ে যেতে পারে।’
