Rohingya Refugees
Repatriation resumes


Repatriation of Rohingya refugees to Myanmar resumed on Saturday.

Ten refugees of a family left the camp for home on the day, while 19,000 others in two camps at Teknaf and Ukhia are on the waiting list.

The repatriation of Rohingyas remained suspended for seventh months since June last year.

About 2.5 lakh Rohintya Muslims of Myanmar entered Bangladesh in 1991.
