Boats began leaving the jetty adjacent to the Navy Boat Club in Chittagong at 9.15am on Tuesday.
Rear Admiral of the Commander of the Chittagong Naval Area. Mozammel Haque told reporters that his people “more than expected” would go to Bhasanchar in the second phase.
“Although we thought about 12 hundred people would go, in the end 1,604 people will go to Bhasanchar on their own initiative.”
They are being brought to Bhasanchar from Chittagong in six boats. They are scheduled to arrive on the island at noon.
Two years ago, the government planned to move a portion of the 1.1 million Rohingya living in and out of Cox’s Bazar refugee camp to Bhasan Char on the Meghna estuary near Hatiyar.
At a cost of Tk 2,312 million rupees with the government’s own funding, infrastructure has been established in 120 cluster villages on the 13,000 acre char to accommodate more than one lakh of people.
Among the Rohingya from Teknaf and Ukhia, 1,642 Rohingya were brought to Bhasanchar in the first phase on 4 December.
The Rohingya were taken to the transit camp near Kutupalong in Ukhia on Sunday night for the second phase of relocation. Many also came on Monday morning.
On Monday afternoon, 30 buses left the Ukhia Degree College campus for Chittagong.
At this time, law enforcement agencies took extensive security measures from the Ghumdhum transit camp to the campus area of Ukhia Degree University. There are also restrictions on the movement of ordinary people.
For the first time, the RAB, police and law enforcement are on high alert in front of and behind the buses carrying Rohingya.
After arriving in Chittagong, they were kept overnight at the BAF Shaheen School transit camp at BAF Zahur Ghat. He was taken away on a naval ship Tuesday morning to take him to Bhasanchar.
Noakhali Police Superintendent. Alamgir Hossain told bdnews24.com: “The district police have made the necessary preparations after reporting the arrival of the Rohingya.”
Earlier, senior police officials visited Bhasanchar and gave the necessary instructions in this regard, the SP said.
