Many of them are now thinking of bringing their relatives from Cox’s Bazar to Bhasanchar.
After spending the first night in his own home in Bhasanchar, he spoke with Mohammad Hossain in the empty field in front of the house on Sunday morning.
He came to Bhasanchar from the Balukhali camp with his wife and two children, but his parents and his brother’s family left him behind.
Hossain told bdnews24.com, “I feel really good here. I’ll go over here and go to Cox’s Bazar again. I’ll go there and bring them. And if they don’t come, I’ll be back. “
Mohammad Jobayer, who came to Bhasanchar from Kutupalong camp in Cox’s Bazar, told bdnews24.com: “We cannot imagine such a good environment. We have not been able to live in such a good home in life, we did not expect to be able to live. God He has reconciled us. “

The Bangladeshi government has established a shelter project in Bhasanchar at a cost of around Tk 3,100 crore to bring one lakh out of 11 lakh displaced people from Myanmar to Cox’s Bazar camp.
In the first phase of the relocation, the first group of 1,642 Rohingya arrived on the 13,000-acre island of Bhasanchar near Hatiyar in Noakhali at noon on Friday after a two-day bus and boat trip from various camps in Cox’s Bazar.
Upon arrival they were escorted to rows of red tents; And almost everyone was glad to get to the new address.
Some of them reported the new address on their mobile phones and also showed video calls to their friends who had left their old address at Cox’s Bazar. After getting an open space, the children got up to play.

Several human rights groups, including the United Nations, have opposed the transfer of the Rohingya to Bhasanchar; However, the Bangladeshi government says the Rohingya will be able to live comfortably here.
Explaining the difference between the Bhasanchar project and the Cox’s Bazar camp, Rohingya Jobayer said: “There is no comparison between the two. That is the poly house, here is the pucca house. It feels so good here.”
Jobayer, who came to Bhasanchar with his wife and three children, said he never wanted to return to the Cox’s Bazar camp.
The Rohingya have been waiting for justice and return to their homeland for 3 years
About seven lakh Rohingya fled Myanmar to Bangladesh three years ago, leaving behind the bodies of their loved ones and the land on fire. About five lakh more Rohingya had taken refuge in Bangladesh before that.
In addition to being overcrowded at the Cox’s Bazar refuge camp, the lack of security was also evident. Murders are also frequent in the camps. In addition, news of various criminal activities, including drugs, also arrives all the time.
That is why Abdur Rahman, who came from the Balukhali camp, feels very safe after reaching Bhasanchar.
He told bdnews24.com, “I was scared there. Different people have touched me while I was walking. There is no such problem here. I want to do well.
“Someone would call me a thief if I went out of necessity, someone would say this and that. Now no one here will say that.”

Explaining the difference between the surroundings of Bhasanchar and Cox’s Bazar, he said: “The fence around the house would be cut and stolen there. If he was asleep, he would also stab him. I can’t do that here. The house I found is very safe. No one can steal or enter the house if they want to. “
Abdur Rahman dreams of making a living driving or running a shop in Bhasanchar.
At the new address in Bhasanchar, each Rohingya family will have a separate house for themselves, with cooking, electricity, water and sewerage facilities. Along with that, there are playgrounds, cyclone shelters, and even opportunities to earn a living.
Not a Misunderstanding of Sincere Efforts: Bangladesh with the Rohingya
In this shelter project, 120 groups or groups of villages have been created to house millions of Rohingya. Each group has 12 houses and a four-story cyclone shelter. Each house with a tin shed on the paved walls has 16 rooms. Each room accommodates a family of four.
By the UN standard, 36 square feet of space per capita has been allocated for housing, but more space has been allocated in these rooms, the project manager said.
For the 1,642 Rohingya who arrived in Bhasanchar on Friday, 48 houses have been allocated in groups 6, 7, 9 and 10.

There is tension in the Rohingya fund
Abdus Samad, who brought his wife, children and parents from Balukhali camp, said that Bhasanchar is very good for the school, the madrasa and the open environment.
He told bdnews24.com, “It feels great to be here. Many houses. Many great rooms. There are schools and madrasas to study here. There is a large playground.
“There is less space in the Cox’s Bazar campgrounds. Many people. When one goes out, the other has nowhere to go. ”
Explaining the difference between the surroundings of Bhasanchar and Cox’s Bazar, Jamina Akhter said: “It feels better here. Good house, good place to stay. ”
Some Rohingya said they were intimidated into not coming to Bhasanchar, as international human rights groups have alleged, forcing them to go.

Mohammad Ali Ullah told bdnews24.com: “Before we came, many of us were afraid that the water would rise and go away. The crocodile will eat it. Bring it here and throw it in the water.
“It just came to our knowledge then. Nice to come here. I can move. I can live much more independently. There are many places. I can cultivate, cultivate and eat. Why was there no place to cultivate in Kutupalong.”
Commodore Abdullah Al Mamun Chowdhury, director of the Bhasan Char Shelter Project, told reporters: “Beautiful arrangements have been made for the livelihood of those who come here. They will be better here than before. “

Additional Commissioner for Refugees, Relief and Repatriation, Mohammad Shamsu-Ddouza, said the government will provide food, medical care and other necessities to the Rohingya through 22 NGOs.
“They will be fed cooked food for the first seven days. Each of these families will receive LPG cylinders. Then they can cook and eat on their own. These NGOs will continue to provide them with food ”.
The government has also taken several steps to allay international organizations’ concerns about the safety of living on this secluded island in the middle of the sea.
The changed Bhasan Char is waiting for the Rohingya
Bhasan Char: United Nations says it has not received “enough information”
The government of Bangladesh has established a refugee project for the Rohingya in Bhasanchar at a cost of around Tk 3,100 crore.
Raised embankments have been built around 1602 acres of land on the island to protect against the risk of tides and swells.
Within this, 432 acres have been set aside for Rohingya housing and other facilities and 917 acres have been set aside for future expansion and afforestation of the project.
There is a four-story composite shelter station for each Rohingya shelter group. This refuge station is capable of withstanding cyclones with a speed of 260 km per hour.
There are separate bathrooms and toilets for men and women who live in each house. Each house has solar panels in the canopy. The house has a water supply system.
Rohingya participate in munajat at the Bhasanchar Asrayan project food warehouse before moving to their respective homes.
Previously, more than 300 Rohingya who had not returned to Malaysia were rescued from the sea and taken to Bhasanchar.
Then, on September 5, a delegation of Rohingya from the Cox’s Bazar refugee camp was sent to Bhasanchar to visit.
After their return, a section of the Rohingya listened to them and expressed interest in going to Bhasan Char, according to government officials. Then the initiative was taken to transfer to the first team.
