A meeting of Mizoram's District Collector (Mamit) V Lalremthanga and Additional District Magistrate (North) Ranjit Kar held on Tuesday at Damcherra in North Tripura gave a final go-ahead to the repatriation of the displaced families from Tripura.
Over 37,000 Reangs fled Mamit, Kolasib and Lunglei districts of Mizoram in the wake of the Mizo-Reang conflict in 1997-98 and have been staying in six refugee camps for the past 16 years, official sources said.
Meanwhile, the Mizoram Bru Displaced Peoples Forum (MBDPF) has alleged they have not been informed anything about the repatriation process.
"It is very painful that we are kept in the dark on the whole episode," Bruno Msha, General Secretary of MBDPF, said.
