Aizawl: No Bru refugee turned up for identification for the second day on Wednesday at Kaskau relief camp in North Tripura district, officials said today. Mizoram-Tripura-Bangladesh border Mamit district Deputy Commissioner Vanlalngaihsaka said over phone that not a single Bru came to report at the office set up by the Mizoram government at Kaskau camp for identification.
Identification of bona fide residents of Mizoram for repatriation commenced at the Kaskau camp yesterday. The state government made arrangements for resumption of repatriation of Brus from the six relief camps in Tripura and proposed to repatriate more than 3,500 families.
The preparations came after the Supreme Court instructed both the Centre and the Mizoram government to repatriate all the Brus within six months.(PTI)
