The state government had appealed for extension of the repatriation dateline from October 18 to November 18, due to relief works being undertaken for the victims of landslides and earth faults in Mamit where majority of the refugees would be resettled.
A state home department official said that arrangements have been made for a phase-wise early repatriation of the refugees.
Altogether 36 villages in the Mizoram-Tripura border's Mamit district were selected for resettlement of the refugees while five villages each were identified for the purpose in Mizoram-Assam border Kolasib district and south Mizoram's Lunglei district.
Once repatriated, Rs 80,000 would be disbursed to each family which would include Rs 35,000 for construction of houses, the official said.
