Not a single Bru turned up before the Mizoram officials at the Hazacherra relief camp in North Tripura today for identification and subsequent repatriation to Mizoram, Mamit district Additional DC Lalbiaksangi said.

Lalbiaksangi told PTI over phone that officials from Mamit, Kolasib and Lunglei were camping at Hazacherra camp to conduct the identification of bona-fide residents of Mizoram since Saturday last.

The identification process began today at the relief camp, the last camp where efforts would be made to repatriate 3,544 Bru families from six relief camps in Tripura.

Lalbiaksangi said the verification at Hazacherra would be concluded on Thursday and if officials found bona-fide residents willing to return to Mizoram, repatriation would begin from August 31 and continue till September 4.
 

The repatriation process under the Road Map-IV for Bru Repatriation prepared by the state home department and approved by the Supreme Court, commenced from July 2 last.

However, no Bru had come forward till date for identification and no one has so far returned to Mizoram.
