Meanwhile, the Mizoram Government is prepared to carry out the repatriation as planned, from May 11 to 15. ''We have not officially received any objections from the Bru refugees. The stage has been set for the repatriation from Tuesday [May 11]. Administrative officers have been posted in each village where the Bru families will be resettled,'' a Police official said. It may be noted that the Bru refugees, who will be taken back this time, were those who left Mizoram following a communal conflict triggered by the killing of a Mizo youth by suspected Bru militants on November 13, 2009. According to the state government reports, about 500 Bru families fled to Tripura in the wake of the ethnic flare-up. These 500 Bru families joined the Bru refugees, about 35,000 in number, who had been lodged in six relief camps in Tripura following a similar ethnic conflict in 1997 sparked off by a killing of a Mizo forest official. The repatriation of the 1997 batch of Bru refugees was underway until it stalled by the November 13 killing. The State Government following request from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs had made arrangements for repatriation of Bru families from May 11. It was likely to be completed by May 15.
