Aizawl, Feb 18: Even as the Centre has sanctioned Rs 9.7 crore for expenses on the resumption of repatriation of Bru refugees from six Tripura relief camps, Young Mizo Association (YMA), the apex Mizo organization, on Thursday said it would keep a close watch on the entire process.
"Appropriate action will be taken if Bru refugees, who are not bona fide residents of Mizoram, are among those repatriated. The YMA will watch and wait till the repatriation process is over," YMA central committee president Lalchungnunga said. "YMA has evidence that the Brus had left the state in 1997 following orders issued by a Bru organisation," he added.
