Authorities have started the land work to construct
buildings that will accommodate refugees repatriated from Bangladesh in
Hlaphoekhaung Village in Maungtaw District yesterday.
The work was launched on 7 January by pressing into
service eight backhoes and four bulldozers.
The refugees will be temporarily housed in the
buildings after their citizenship is scrutinised.
“Those who return from Bangladesh will be
scrutinised at Ngakhuya and Taungpyolatwe, and they will be provided with
temporary accommodation here,” said U Ye Htut, Maungtaw district Deputy
Commissioner.
Myanmar and Bangladesh came to an agreement on the
terms of repatriation for those who fled Rakhine State four months ago and are
staying in temporary Bangladeshi camps.
