Aizawl:  A meeting of major non-governmental organisations (NGOs) urged the Centre and the state governments of Mizoram and Tripura to ensure that all the inmates of the Bru relief camps in Tripura return to Mizoram by the end of February.
In a press statement issued here on Wednesday, the NGOs – Young Mizo Association (YMA), Mizo Hmeichhe Insuihkhawm Pawl (MHIP)or Mizo Women’s Association, Mizoram Upa Pawl (MUP) or Mizoram Elders Association and Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP) or Mizo students federation said “that the relief camps were breeding grounds for armed goons indulging in a series of murder, abduction and extortion.” “Those who were remaining in the camps making different pretexts should be repatriated on or before February end,” the statement said, adding that appropriate authorities should take action expeditiously.
The statement said that the NGOs would take steps to ensure that those who refuse to return to Mizoram after February were deleted from the Mizoram voters lists.
The NGOs also implored the state government to make concerted efforts for the release of Deep Mondal, who has been kept in captivity by Bru goons inside Bangladesh since November 23, 2013 even after the release of other two hostages on January 21 last. (PTI)
