69 BRU families desire to return to Mizoram

At least 69 Bru families at three relief camps in Tripura have expressed their willingness to return to Mizoram when the second phase of repatriation begins next week, Bru Coordination Committee (BCC) said today.
"Those who have expressed their willingness to return to Mizoram were 53 families from Kaskau relief camp, 14 from Hampsapara and two from Khakchangpara relief camps," Elvis Chorkhy, leader of Bru Coordination Committee (BCC) told PTI over phone from the Mizoram-Tripura border town of Mamit.
The 69 Bru families, comprising 225 adults and 100 minors, would bear their transport costs which would be reimbursed later, he said.

They would be resettled in Kanhmun, Rengdil, Chuhvel and Zawlnuam villages in Mamit district, he said.
The District Core Committee on Bru Repatriation would meet tomorrow to discuss the modalities of the resumption of self-repatriation, Mamit SP Rodingliana Chawngthu said.
Chawngthu said that 100 Bru families from Naisingpara and Asapara relief camps in North Tripura had been self-repatriated in the week-long process which began from September 30.
The second repatriation process is likely to begin from October 16 or 17, he said.
