Members of the Rohingya delegation were impressed by Bhasanchar’s infrastructure and general environment. A 40-member Rohingya delegation is currently in Bhasanchar to view a housing project for Rohingya sheltering in Cox’s Bazar. Under the supervision of the Department of the Armed Forces, delegates are investigating various housing-related issues.
The Rohingya delegation arrived in Chittagong from Ukhia on Saturday morning under the supervision of the army. From there, at night, they were taken to Bhasanchar by sea under the supervision of the Navy. Forty Rohingya leaders from 34 camps in Ukhia and Teknaf in Cox’s Bazar are monitoring the situation in Bhasanchar. The delegation is scheduled to return to Cox’s Bazar on Tuesday. The government hopes that Rohingya leaders will agree to move to Bhasanchar if they see the Rohingya in the shelter.
The Rohingya delegation that visited Bhasanchar includes heads of different camps, boatmen and mosque imams. After visiting Bhasanchar, they will return to Cox’s Bazar and explain the situation to the Rohingya.
Mohammad Harun, a member of the delegation, told Kaler Kantha on his mobile phone Sunday afternoon that the representatives of the housing project in Bhasanchar liked it very much. In addition to mosques, children’s schools, health centers, playgrounds, there are ponds within each housing project. The water in these ponds in the middle of the sea is very delicious. Harun, a resident of Rohingya Camp 1017 in Ukhia, said that most group members like him were satisfied with the environment of the housing project. They have shown interest in living in Bhasanchar.
According to the Refugee Aid and Repatriation Commissioner (RRRC), the inspection of the housing project in Bhasanchar by the Rohingya delegation is a motivating activity. Forty selected people from the Rohingya camp have been dispatched to learn about the housing project and the general situation. Members of the delegation will visit the Bhasanchar Housing Project on site and be briefed on the various facilities available there.

Commodore Mamun said they reached Bhasanchar before last Saturday night. The next morning, members of the delegation toured various parts of the housing project. All kinds of facilities have been provided in this Rohingya housing project. There are better facilities here than at Cox’s Bazar. The water of Bhasanchar is extraordinary. It is impossible to imagine such exuberant water.
The government has built this housing project in Bhasanchar in the Bay of Bengal at a cost of around 3 billion Tk. At least one lakh of Rohingya can live here. Around 13 km of flood control dams have been built around the housing project. At the same time, 120 cyclone shelters, the necessary education and medical infrastructure have been built.
Currently, 303 Rohingya live in Bhasanchar. They were rescued in the Bay of Bengal by law enforcement while being smuggled into Malaysia by sea at different times. On behalf of the Government of Bangladesh, the Navy is providing basic humanitarian needs, such as food and medical care, to these Rohingya.
At least one million Rohingya currently live in camps in Cox’s Bazar. They suffer from various diseases in the densely populated camps. Due to the homelessness, various criminal activities are spreading through the shelter. For these reasons, the Rohingya must be relocated to relatively better housing, the government has said on several occasions.
According to RRRC sources, after visiting Bhasanchar, members of the Rohingya delegation are able to persuade others in the camp with positive ideas. And in that case, they will be sent to Bhasanchar at any time. The Rohingya will be able to live there better than Cox’s Bazar.
