AGARTALA, Nov 3 (TIWN): After residing in Tripura for long 22 years in refugee camps at Kanchanpur, the Brus / Reang Community now wants to stay in Tripura only as Mizoram is becoming a land of suffocation for them, without any safety-assurance.

Bru leaders said today, these Bru community’s people also belong to Tripura because during Dumboor hydro projects many became landless and went to Mizoram and from Mizoram they came to Tripura, because they know this place.

Also they asked, if Chakma community’s people came from Bangladesh after 1971 are residing here, why not the Brus ?

The Brus also asked, what about those children of Brus who never visited Mizoram and born in the soil of Tripura ?

“They are just suffocated of their lives as refugees in the camps. They are also Indians, why to treat them as outsiders ?”, said the Bru leader demanding Citizenships of Tripura.
