Debate over ‘census’ Chakma-Hajongs has been going on for quite some time now. Whereas the APSU has been pushing for it, the Chakma-Hajong bodies of Arunachal are opposing it vehemently. The matter has even reached the PMO with the Chakma Development Foundation of India (CDFI) filing a report in the PMO.
