Guwahati: The process of rehabilitation of the remaining violence-displaced people still lodged in relief camps in violence-hit districts of western Assam including Kokrajhar and Dhubri is likely to be delayed as the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) administration wants to re-check the land documents submitted by about 12,000 relief camp inmates s proof of their Indian citizenship.

Meanwhile, the Group of Ministers assigned by Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi has decided to shift relief camps located in various education institutions to nearby government land so that classes could be resumed in those institutions after a long time.

The rehabilitation process for these violence-displaced could be started only after the BTC administration completes verification of their land ownership documents.

Meanwhile, anticipating a delay in the rehabilitation process, Assam chief minister has instructed procurement of warm clothes for the relief camps inmates as winter will set in Assam’s rural areas towards the end of next month.

Out of these 55,427 ( 41,206 Muslims and 14,116 Bodos) inmates are lodged in 42 relief camps in Kokrajhar district. Dhubri district has 1,01,244 inmates lodged in 129 camps , all Muslims.
