32,857 people belonging to 5,413 families have been identified for repatriation after the completion of identification of bona fide residents of Mizoram in six Bru relief camps in North Tripura.
The Brus identified as residents of Mizoram were those enrolled in the Mizoram Voter’s lists in 1995 and their descendants, Mizoram-Tripura border Mamit district deputy commissioner Lalbiaksangi told PTI on Thursday.
The identification of Brus was completed last night.
Meanwhile, the meeting of Joint Monitoring Group, chaired by Special Secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs (Internal Security) Mahesk Kumar Singla, on Thursday in Delhi decided to go ahead with the proposed Bru repatriation scheduled to begin from November 30.
Mizoram Additional Secretary for Home Lalbiakzama said that the MHA agreed to make final decisions on the proposed enhancement of resettlement and rehabilitation package after a few days.
Problem for payment of rehabilitation package to the repatriated Brus in the face of acute scarcity of cash in the wake of the demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes was also deliberated in the meeting, Lalbiakzama said.
