AGARTALA, Sep 14 (TIWN): Tripura Govt. is now heavily under pressure after the actual owners of Kanchapur land, occupied by Brurefugees since 20 years, asked the state govt. to return back their lands.
In total 193.8 Ekar land have been grabbed by the Brus refugees for last 20 years.
In the year 1997, Kanchapur the then SDM had sheltered many Reang Refugees across Kachirampara, Gachiram Para, Subhash Nagar, AnandaBazar area, Naisingpara, Asapara, Hejachara------ most of them are public lands.
However, recently the owners have asked the administration to get back their lands who are the original owners of those lands.
Around 31,300 Reang tribals, who call themselves "Bru", have been living in seven makeshift camps in northern Tripura's Kanchanpur areas adjoining Mizoram for the past 20 years.
They had fled after an ethnic violence in Mizoram following the killing of a Mizo forest officer at the Dampa Tiger Reserve. Now their numbers also have been increased and their families.
However, with the interference of BJP led Central Govt. just within 2 years of its power in the Country, has forced the Mizo Govt. to accept the Brus in its state by fulfilling their all demands.
