The Mizoram government is not ready to begin the process of Bru repatriation from the first week of November as desired by the Centre for different reasons, an official said today.
It would not be possible to start the proposed Bru repatriation from the six relief camps in North Tripura district from November one for different reasons, including lack of prompt action by the Centre on fund allocation, state Additional Secretary for Home Lalbiakzama told PTI.
"Our revised estimate for expenses is yet to be accepted by the Centre till date and it would not be possible to make preparations during this month without fund," Lalbiakzama said.
He also said that while the plan for the repatriation was already prepared, but its implementation would need time.
Thousands of Brus migrated to Tripura following violence in 1997.
