Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ratan Lal Nath informed media that the government would give settlements to the Bru refugees in all the eight districts.
“All the 8 district magistrates have finalized spots for giving them a settlement. Once the state government takes a final call on the issue the process would start”, the law minister who is also the cabinet spokesperson said.
Notably, the state government just ended the new identification drive undertaken after the New Delhi pact. Now, the total number of inmates in the relief camps stands at 36,261 belonging to 4,874 families.
On the other hand, Nagarik Suraksha Mancha, a Bengali body fighting for the cause of displaced Bengalis had called a public rally to press for their demands in the area. The prime demand of the organization is to settle the Brus out of Kanchanpur Sub-division.
"We are astonished by the fact that the state government stupidly agreed to let the refugees stay here even though they had never demanded this; these refugees have caused a lot of damages to the Bengalis as well as the Mizos in Jampui, Sakhantang, Shermoon, and Upper Dashda over the past twenty-three years by displacing people from the entire Parshurampur village," said Ranjit Nath, president of the Mancha adding that their protests would continue.
