The Chakma Autonomous District Council was formed on 29th April 1972 through the trifurcation of the erstwhile Pawi-Lakher Regional Council (PLRC). It was created under the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution of India to safeguard and promote the unique ethnic and cultural identity of the Chakmas of Mizoram. However, a significant section of the Chakma population residing in the northwestern region of the state still remains outside its jurisdiction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
