Threats of criminals, influentials blamed



Ma Ching Rakhine, along with her family members, was forced to leave their ancestral home in Teknaf upazila of Cox's Bazar around 10 years ago in the face of threats from Rohingya criminals.

With a Rohingya refugee camp set up on their ancestral land in Dadundagya Rakhine Para, they are now living a tough life in Chowdhury Para Beri Badh area of Teknaf. They live in houses made of plastic sheets with no proper toilet facilities. They do not have safe drinking water either.
