Three separate bills on Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHTs) district councils were passed on Sunday through voice votes in the Jatiya Sangsad (JS) to facilitate the small ethnic groups of the CHT areas to represent in their respective district councils.
These bills are: 'Rangamati Hill District Council (Amendment) Bill, 2014', 'Khagrachari Hill District Council (Amendment) Bill, 2014' and 'Bandarban Hill District Council (Amendment) Bill, 2014'.
