The Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC), established in 1972, is facing a political crisis that has slowed development plans and damaged public trust. The council, which was meant to uplift the ethnic Chakma population, has become a hub for factionalism, with power struggles often overshadowing public service. In the past seven years, the CADC has seen seven CEMs rise and fall, resulting in no-confidence motions and betrayals of party loyalty.
