A central team arrived here today for a visit to the evacuee camps in Kanchanpur subdivision of North Tripura district, state Revenue Secretary Swapan Saha said.
The team would visit the camps tomorrow where around 33,000 displaced Reang/Bru people from Mizoram were staying for 17 years due to ethnic problem in the neighbouring state.
The seven-member team, headed by its Ministry of Home Affairs Additional Secretary Rajib Gauba, consists of representatives from Human Resource Development ministry, Social Justice and Empowerment ministry, Tripura government and NGOs, Saha said.
The MHA formed the team recently following a Tripura High Court order to submit a report after a lawyer filed a writ petition saying the displaced people were living an inhuman life in the camps, he said.
The MHA would submit the team's report to the Tripura High court by September 12.
