Aizawl: A team of Mizoram government officials would visit Bru relief camps in North Tripura district’s Kanchanpur sub-division ahead of the resumption of repatriation of the Bru refugees.

The team, headed by Joint Secretary for Home Lalbiakzama, would visit three camps along with Tripura government officials on Thursday and the other three camps on Friday.

Lalbiakzama told PTI over phone from Kanchanpur that the officials from Mizoram and Tripura would apprise the refugees of plans to repatriate them to Mizoram.

He said the schedule for resumption of the repatriation would be worked out after the team submitted its report to the government.

The proposed resumption of repatriation process during the last part of May was scuttled by “absence of conducive atmosphere” in the Mizoram-Tripura border areas.

The people of the Bru community were displaced from Mizoram following ethnic conflicts with the Mizos in 1997 and since then they were sheltered in six camps at Kanchanpur in North Tripura district. (PTI)
