AAPSU President Kamta Lapung in an interview to Eastern Sky Media has alleged that even after the formation of a Joint High-Power Committee comprising of representatives from AAPSU, Chakma-Hajong State and Central Government to solve the refugee problem in 2012, the problem of refugees still exists. Blaming the state government for lack of sincere effort in solving the issue, AAPSU said the government of using this burning issue for political interest. AAPSU Blames Govt for Non-Settlement of Chakma-Hajong Issue in Arunachal Pradesh Lapung disclosed that the Joint High Power Committee surveyed the refugees inhabited areas in Changlang and Lohit districts and found cases of massive land encroachment into the reserved forest. The AAPSU appealed to the state government to solve the crisis at the earliest. Thousands of Chakmas and Hajongs migrated to Arunachal Pradesh, where they were settled way back in the 1960’s, when they were displaced by the construction of a Dam across the Borgang River(now Karnaphuli) at Kaptai in the Jummaland, East Pakistan now Bangladesh. In 1979, when Arunachal Pradesh was given State status, Chakmas and Hajongs were harassed and treated as refugees. Since 1980, no Chakmas or Hajongs has been given EMPLOYMENT. Their population is mainly concentrated in three districts of Arunachal Pradesh, Papumpare, Lohit and Changlang.
