No Bru refugee turned up for identification for the second day today at Kaskau relief camp in North Tripura district, officials said.

Mizoram-Tripura-Bangladesh border Mamit district deputy commissioner Vanlalngaihsaka told PTI over phone that not a single Bru came to report at the office set up by the Mizoram Government at Kaskau camp for identification.

Identification of bona fide residents of Mizoram for repatriation commenced at the Kaskau camp from yesterday.

The state government made arrangements for resumption of repatriation of Brus from six relief camps in Tripura and proposed to repatriate more than 3,500 families.

The preparations came after the Supreme Court instructed both the Centre and the Mizoram government to repatriate all Brus within six months.
