State Home department Joint Secretary Lalbiakzama told PTI that all necessary arrangements have been made by the Mamit district administration on Mizoram-Tripura border to receive the 121 families at two facilitation camps - Kanhmun and Zomuantlang.
He said that those who were returning to Mizoram would be verified at the facilitation camps and once identified as bona fide residents, would be given Rs 5,500 per family as travel expenses.
"We have requested the Tripura government officials in Kanchanpur Sub-Division to help the Bru families hire vehicles," he said.
The Bru families had agreed to return to Mizoram on their own were from Naisingpara and Asapara relief camps, he said.
On arrival at the facilitation camps, the Bru families would be each given a certificate and Rs 80,000 as rehabilitation and resettlement package.
The Bru Coordination Committee headed by leaders like Elvis Chorkhy would coordinate and help the officials at the facilitation camps and also in their resettlement in the designated 15 villages, he added.
The Mizoram government and the Union Home Ministry opted for self-repatriation as many Bru leaders in the relief camps were opposed to the return process. Also the government had spent a huge amount of money in making arrangements for their return but only a few families decided to go back last year.
