Locals mark 6 places for settling Bru refugees

Context:

  • There are 7 relief camps among which the Bru families are distributed in these two subdivisions.

Concerns:

  • The areas proposed by the Joint Movement Committee (comprising Bengali, Mizo and other indigenous communities of the subdivisions of North Tripura district) and those sought by the Bru organisations do not match.
