Mr Sarkar left for Kanchanpur this morning and reviewed the situation with both police and civil administration while asking to create water sources in the camp areas besides, ensuring all other basic amenities for the inmates shelter in different camps since 1997 following ethnic clash in Western Mizoram.
According to a report, as many as 2500 huts were gutted that left more than 15,000 people homeless.
The administration made arrangements for the shifting the families to nearby schools and community halls last night.
The fire spread over the camps from forest fire last night.
Over 35,000 Bru had fled from Western Mizoram on October 15, 1997 night following fierce communal riots between the Brus and Lushais (Mizo) in adjoining North Tripura.
They were sheltered in six camps in Kanchanpur subdivision since then.
Several tripartite talks had failed to ensure repatriation of the Brus to their homeland as Aizwal was overtly reluctant to take them back.
