Immigration
and Population officials in Rakhine State have stepped up the national
verification process, which is one of the recommendations of the advisory
commission on Rakhine State, recently issuing verification cards to nearly 100
villagers from Shwezar Village tract in Maungtaw Township.
The
work was suspended due to most recent terrorist attacks on 25th August, and
resumed on 1 October in the areas which have returned to normalcy.
“We
recorded the villagers with biometric methods for the National ID system, and
so far, 70 men and 22 women from Shwezar Village-tract have been issued the
National Verification card up to 25th October,” said an official who is a
member of the mobile team of the immigration and population department.
The
staff from the Rakhine State Immigration and Population Department issued
National Verification cards to over 2,600 people from Shwe Zar (North) (West)
and (Middle) villagers in mid-October.
The
Union Government arranged a diplomatic trip to the conflict areas in northern
Rakhine on 10 October, taking steps to begin the national verification process
and repatriation of refugees who fled to Bangladesh after the deadly terrorist
attacks in August. Myanmar and Bangladesh held ministerial and official-level
meetings on 24th October, reaching a 10-point agreement including fighting
illegal migration through borders.
The
two sides also discussed the agreement between Myanmar and Bangladesh signed in
1992 and the four agreements between immigration official-level meetings between
the two countries in 2000.
