GUWAHATI: In less than a fortnight of signing the treaty with Centre and state governments of Tripura and Mizoram that ensured a smooth return of the 5,407 displaced Bru families from their exile of 21 years in Tripura to their homeland in Mizoram, the Mizoram Bru Displaced People's Forum (MDPF) pulled out of the agreement on Monday.General secretary of MBDPF, Bruno Msha told TOI, "Yes we have pulled out of the repatriation treaty which we signed with the three governments on July 3 in New Delhi. The people in the caps are agitating against the MBDPF leaders. Our pull-out was formally signed by our president Sawibunga in presence of three officials of Tripura government."A section of Bru inmates of Naisingpara camp have been on hunger strike since Wednesday demanding advance payment of the rehabilitation money. The rehabilitation package, among other benefits, assures financial assistance of Rs 4 lakh to be kept in fixed deposit in the name of the head of the family for two years.The Centre, however, does not want to change the repatriation plan. An MHA source said that a special secretary of the ministry will arrive in Agartala on Wednesday and hold meetings with the representatives of the two state governments and MBDPF where the repatriation action plan will be finalised. "The central government is determined to see that the repatriation process is completed as per schedule," the source said.Msha said that the forum is meeting to discuss the fallout of the withdrawal from the agreement, under which all the 5,407 families comprising 32,875 Bru people were to be repatriated to Mizoram by September 30. Ethnic flare-up in Mizoram in 1997 forced the Bru or the Reang community people to flee from their homes to neighbouring Tripura and they were housed in six make-shift refugee camps located in Kanchanpur and Panisagar sub-divisions of North Tripura district.The centre on Sunday sent joint secretary of Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) MK Singla to the camps to hold discussion, but the unrest continued.After their return, Bru families would be settled in the three districts - Kolasib, Lunglei and Mamit - in western Mizoram where they used to live.The rehabilitation package also assures that each family will be given Rs 5,000 per month as cash assistance for a period of two years from date of repatriation. Families will also be provided Rs 1.5 lakh as house building assistance.Moreover, each person repatriating will be given free ration for two years at present rate applicable. Families will get free transportation to be arranged by Government of Mizoram. MHA will reimburse the cost.
