The Special Secretary for the Ministry of Home Affairs' Internal Security, M K Singla, today said he hoped that the Bru repatriation process would be implemented from next January, an official statement said.
The statement said Singla held talks with state chief secretary Lalmalsawma and top home department officials in Aizawl on the Bru repatriation issue.
The MHA official said the preparation for the Bru repatriation from six relief camps in Tripura was satisfactory.
Lalmalsawma also said the Mizoram government had completed its duty in identifying the residents of the state in the relief camps and that the preparation for physical repatriation was a continuing process.
The state government officials, who conducted the identification in the Tripura relief camps during November 2 to November 23, identified 32,857 people belonging to 5,413 families for physical repatriation.
The proposed physical repatriation, scheduled to commence from November 30, could, however, not take off due to different reasons.
