AGARTALA:

In view of the repatriation of the displaced Bru refugees temporarily living in Tripura to Mizoram to begin from August 25, only 200 families from around 6 camps have turned up so far registering themselves to move to their home town at Mizoram. 5407 families comprising 32,876 persons are temporarily residing in Tripura Kanchanpur bordering areas of the state.

The Unakoti Police Super Bhanupada Chakroborty today said, "Only 200 refugees have turned up for registration in view of the repatriation scheduled to begin from August 25." Adding to this he further informed that the Bru refugees are apparently reluctant to register their names and the footfall for registration is negligible.
