– Visit to provide insight into life in Bhasan Char
– Currently over 30,000 Rohingyas live there
Arakan News Desk: A group of 672 Rohingya refugees embarked on a “go-and-see” visit to Bhashan Char on Sunday.
Facilitated by two Navy Landing Craft Utility (LCU) ships, the Rohingyas departed at 6:10am and arrived at Chittagong Boat Club at 9:30am.
Subsequently, the refugees continued their journey on 13 buses and one covered van.
This visit aims to provide the Rohingya community with an insight into life in Bhashan Char, where the government has undertaken an initiative to temporarily relocate approximately 100,000 Rohingyas from the densely populated camps in Cox’s Bazar.
Currently over 30,000 Rohingya refugees reside in Bhashan Char as part of this initiative.
