DIYUN, Nov 27:   The Chakma Students Union organized a peaceful protest at Diyun on Sunday to condemn the cancellation of Residential Proof Certificates (RPCs) to Chakma/Hajong people by the Government of Arunachal Pradesh.
The protest was carried out under the banner of the Joint Action Committee (JAC), which is the unified umbrella organization of all the Chakma-Hajong Community Based Organizations,  after the Joint Secretary (Political), the Government of Arunachal Pradesh  issued an order to cancel all Residential Proof Certificates (RPCs) issued to the Chakma and Hajong people of Changlang District, The circular also provides for the issue of Temporary Settlement Certificates in lieu of Residential Proof Certificates as an alternative arrangement. This is a direct blow to the right of Chakma and Hajong people as it denies them the right to earn their livelihood, stated the Joint Action Committee (JAC).
