Tambru Border: Verification of Rohingyas begins today
The government is going to start from today the verification of the Rohingyas who took shelter in Bandarban’s Naikhongchhari upazila amid armed fighting on the no-man’s-land near Tambru border since January 19.
The National Taskforce on the Forcibly Displaced Myanmar Nationals on Wednesday held a meeting and formed a committee to verify nearly 3,000 Rohingyas who are currently staying in houses and schools near Tambru border, according to the meeting minutes.
After verifying them, the committee will make recommendations for the next course of action, said Mohammed Mizanur Rahman, refugee relief and repatriation commissioner (RRRC).

Sources said some of the newly-arrived Rohingyas were registered with different refugee camps.
According to the meeting minutes and local sources, the Rohingyas who entered Myanmar through a fence amid the violence were forced to come to Bangladesh by Myanmar authorities.
Some of them took shelter with the host community while others were at newly built makeshift shelters in the area.
