It is the job of civil administration to ensure peace in the hill tracts. We can say based on what we see now is that the law and order situation there is deteriorating. If it was the other way around, there must not have so many killings. We have to take control over the situation. Once Shanti Bahini, an anti-Bangladesh insurgency group, used to collect firearms or assist from outside the border. But as far as we know, the current Indian government is strict enough in this regard. They do not support the militia. So ii is mandatory to carry out raids against those having firearms or seize the lethal weapons. The supply of arms has to stop by any means.This is not the first time that unrest is taking place in the hills as such incidents occurred there in the past as well. But a number of issues have to be considered regarding the tension going on now. Both the groups for and against the CHT Peace Accord are engaged in it. Once there were two parties, where the figure has jumped to four—two supporting the treaty and the rest opposing it. They have an internal feud. Factional dispute is behind the murders and violence in the hill districts. We feel something from inside and do something else from outside. We could not resolve some problems as mentioned in the peace accord. The real owners have not been handed over proprietorship of special land. If we can settle the issue, the rest problems will be dissolved automatically. But we kept on failing in this issue. The army has been withdrawn from the hill districts, which is not right. The military personnel were deployed in small camps set up in several areas. Now they are attached to the cantonment.Army men are now assigned in some places and that too, in a restricted manner. There are two administrations there now—one civil and the other military. Since there is no state of emergency following the peace accord, the army is playing a supportive role. The military is also assisting the civil administration.
