Hindu
families sheltering at internally displaced camps in Sittway returned home
yesterday as the situation in Rakhine State has returned to normalcy.
With
the last batch of 123 Hindu people from 36 households today, all the displaced
people staying at the 31 camps in Sittway have returned home with the help of
local authorities.
“We
have arranged a ship for the last batch 123 Hindus to go back home tomorrow,”
said Rakhine State Government Office.
The
Hindus who moved from Sittway are currently sheltering at a camp established
near Maungtaw District General Administration Department as they are repairing
their homes.
“Some
of their houses were burnt down in the terrorist attacks. Some are still
reparable. We will send them to their houses when their houses are ready to
accommodate them,” said U Ye Htut, Maungtaw District Deputy Commissioner.
The
local authorities have planned to allocate land to those who lost their homes
in the terrorist attacks and to provide food and security to all communities in
the area, according to the Maungtaw District Deputy Commissioner.
“Still,
they have worries for returning to their homes though the situation has
returned to normalcy. We will make efforts for peaceful coexistence between the
communities,” said U Ye Htut.
All
Myanmar Hindu Central Board issued a statement on 1 October expressing deep
sorrow for ethnic nationals and Hindus killed by ARSA extremist terrorists in
Rakhine State and urges to make arrangements to provide security and restore
the livelihood of the remaining family members.
The
statement said ethnic Rakhine nationals, public servants and some Hindus were
killed and wounded by recent ARSA extremist terrorists’ atrocities in Maungtaw,
Rakhine State. The worst incident was the cruel mass killing of Hindu villagers
of an entire village and the forced abduction of some Hindus to another
country.
