As a result, a police battalion will be formed there. To increase security, the island has been visited and talks have been held with officials there.
He added that the government had established a self-employed housing plan to relocate around one lakh of Rohingya from the crowded refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar to Hatiyar Bhasanchar in Noakhali. As part of this, the process of bringing the Rohingya to Bhasanchar is underway.
Meanwhile, in the second week of September, the government brought 40 Rohingya leaders, including two women from the Ukhia-Teknaf camp, to Hatiyar Bhasanchar in Noakhali to see if the housing system was adequate for living. Although they were “impressed” by the accommodation in Bhasanchar, they returned and said that the Rohingyas living there had begged them to come to Cox’s Bazar.
According to official data, the government has implemented the Bhasanchar Asylum Project at a cost of Tk 3,095 crore of its own funds for the relocation of the Rohingya. Infrastructure has been built in 120 clustered villages suitable for one lakh of Rohingya. In addition, a 13-kilometer-long, 19-foot-high embankment and a building and jetty are being constructed for UN envoys to protect 40 square kilometers of the tidal zone. The Bangladesh Navy is responsible for the implementation and management of the entire housing project in Bhasanchar.
Shamsuddoza Nayan, Cox’s Bazar’s Additional Commissioner for Refugee Aid and Repatriation, said that several initiatives have been taken to make Bhasanchar habitable, including developing infrastructure on the island for the livelihoods of the Rohingya and the Rohingya living there are accommodated.
By the way, 306 Rohingya who returned to Bangladesh last May after failing to go to Malaysia illegally were rescued from the sea and taken to Bhasanchar. Among them, 17 are women, 98 are men and 24 are children.
