Locals mark 6 places for settling Bru refugees

Locals mark 6 places for settling Bru refugees

Context:

Six places have been proposed by the non-Brus of Tripura for settling the displaced Brus from Mizoram.
Limits have also been placed for the number of families to be accommodated in two subdivisions that have borne the brunt of the 23-year-old refugee crisis.
There are 7 relief camps among which the Bru families are distributed in these two subdivisions.

Concerns:

Non-Bru groups have been maintaining that the Brus were difficult to coexist with.
The onus was put on the state government by the Bru leaders, to honour a quadripartite agreement in January 2020 for resettling more than 6,500 families in suitable areas.
The areas proposed by the Joint Movement Committee (comprising Bengali, Mizo and other indigenous communities of the subdivisions of North Tripura district) and those sought by the Bru organisations do not match.
