In a recent Bru re-identification drive carried out in the six relief camps of Tripura, the Mizoram government has so far declared 26,128 persons belonging to 4,278 families as bona fide residents of the state.
Mizoram home secretary Lalbiakzama told local reporters in Aizawl early this week that the re-identification drive of the bona fide residents of the state was completed on July 20. He though added that the figure was not final as he was yet to hold a meeting with the officials who carried out the drive in the camps in North Tripura.
Though an identification drive was carried out in the camps in 2018 too, the process was carried out once again because there could be a change in the number of people living in the camps due to births and deaths in the last one year.
