AGARTALA: The Tripura government recently said it was ready to send back Bru refugees living in camps in the state to Mizoram but the final repatriation plan was yet to be formalised.

The Union home ministry has decided to repatriate around 37,000 Bru refugees from Mizoram, who have been living in six camps in North Tripura for the past 19 years, from November this year.

Tripura chief secretary YP Singh said the Mizoram government would have to submit the final movement plan which is necessary to make the repatriation a success.
