Teknaf, 16th September 03: "Seven hundred and fifty families of floating Rohingyas from Burma have been living in abject poverty and deplorable conditions in the neighbourhood of Teknaf Kindergarten School, causing deterioration of the law and order situation of this small border town in the southeastern tip of Bangladesh, situated just across the river Naaf from Maungdaw in western Burma.

The local people have raised high concern about the spread of the deadly AIDS through unchecked prostitution among some of the Rohingyas who live unaccounted and uncared for.
The situation was created when the Thana Nirbahi Officer (township administrative official) ordered all of the floating Rohingya population in the vicinity out of the rented houses in Teknaf Municipality. Since then about 750 Rohingya families have been living in temporary shacks constructed in front of the Teknaf Upazila administration office building..."
