Aizawl, Aug 31 : A team of officials from Mizoram will hear petitions of Bru refugees living in relief camps in Tripura today to include their names in Mizoram’s voters list and issue photo identity cards to them.
The team would cover Naisingpara, Asapara, Hamsapara, Khakchangpara, Kaskau and Hazarchhera transit camps in Tripura, the sources said, adding they were expected to complete the exercise by September 2.
Representatives of Election Commission of India would oversee the works of the Mizoram officials on the spot, where those included in the voters’ list of Mizoram would be issued electoral photo identity cards.
Thousands of Bru refugees have been living in six relief camps in North Tripura district since the latter part of 1997 in the wake of Bru militancy against Mizoram Government, forcing them to migrate to the neighbouring state.
