Agartala: Over 24 years after being forced to flee their homeland in Mizoram and taking shelter in Tripura, the process of permanent resettlement and rehabilitation of the internally-displaced Bru people started on Monday, education minister Ratan Lal Nath told EastMojo.
“For the time being, 493 members of 426 families will stay in temporary camps in Ambasa and Longtarai Valley subdivisions of Dhalai district. The Tripura government will soon make arrangements for their permanent residence,” Nath said.
He also said that no action was taken for a long time to rehabilitate them in Tripura. The situation had reached such a point that the education and health of their next generation was deteriorating by the day, he said.
