In a memorandum submitted to President Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the organisation said over 500 non-tribal people had to leave their ancestral homes after arrival of the Bru people from Mizoram. All the non-tribal villagers who got evicted from their own place must be given a rehabilitation package as announced for the Bru refugees recently, said Chandhan Chatterjee, president of the Bangali Chhatra-Yuba Samaj, today.

The memorandum contains an 11-point charter of demands, which include immediate arrest of those who attacked the Ananda Bazar area during the anti-CAB protest on December 10 last year, forcing over 90 non-tribal families to leave their homes and shops.

Till date, there has been no positive step by the State Government to rehabilitate all the non-tribal refugees who have taken shelter at the Ananda Bazar Police Station ground, Chatterjee said.

It may be noted that following an instruction from Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb, Tripura Assembly Deputy Speaker Biswabandhu Sen had met the non-tribal refugees and urged them to accept relief as per the government guidelines. However, the refugees declined to receive the relief.
