The government has built a housing project for Rohingya refugees in Bhasanchar on approximately 1,700 acres of land at a cost of approximately 3 billion Tk. Where at least 1 lakh Rohingyas can live. 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.
A 40-member delegation of Rohingya refugees has been in Bhasanchar for the past three days to view the government-built housing project. The government hopes that Rohingya leaders will agree to go to Bhasanchar if they see the housing project and persuade others. They are scheduled to return to Chittagong on Tuesday.
Nur Ahmad Master, a member of the delegation, told Kaler Kantha by phone at 3.30pm on Monday that the government of Bangladesh has spent a lot of money to build this housing project. There are all kinds of facilities. We like. We will go back to camp and tell the others we like it.
Members of the delegation met Rohingya living in Bhasanchar today and were rescued in the Bay of Bengal by law enforcement while being trafficked to Malaysia by sea at different times. Nur Ahmad Master said that Rohingya already in Bhasanchar said they may have drowned in the sea while going to Malaysia by sea. This is the destiny to survive. But sometimes parents are upset about their relatives.
Another member of the delegation, Mohammad Harun, said that they still tour different parts of the country. They already met the Rohingya in Bhasanchar. The 40-member team split into two groups to meet men and women.
Aaron said that there is also a huge area outside the housing area. Hundreds of buffalo and sheep graze on the pasture. We all look around. We will return to camp and tell others about these issues.
Commodore Mamun, project officer for the housing project, said that he has been shown all aspects of the housing project. Arrangements have been made today to meet the members of the delegation who were rescued in the Bay of Bengal by law enforcement while being trafficked to Malaysia by sea at different times and who are currently living in Bhasanchar.
Currently, 303 Rohingya live in Bhasan Char. On behalf of the Government of Bangladesh, the Bangladesh Navy is meeting the basic humanitarian needs of these Rohingya, such as food and medical care.
They arrived in Chittagong from Ukhia on Saturday morning under the supervision of the army. From there he reached Bhasanchar on Saturday night under the supervision of the Navy by sea. Forty Rohingya leaders from 34 camps in Ukhia-Teknaf went to Bhasanchar to observe the situation and the environment.
The visiting Rohingya delegation includes heads of different camps, boatmen, and mosque imams. After visiting Bhasan Char, they will return to Cox’s Bazar and explain the situation to the Rohingya.
But the relocation of Rohingya from Cox’s Bazar to Bhasan Char has been postponed due to lack of consent from international aid agencies and the United Nations. The government hopes that international agencies will be partners in relocating the Rohingya to a better and more open place rather than the crowded refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar. The agencies have imposed conditions on the safety and voluntary relocation of Rohingya there.
At least one million Rohingya currently live in camps in Cox’s Bazar. They suffer from various diseases in the densely populated camps. Apart from this, various types of criminal gangs rule there as the house is full. For these reasons, the Rohingya must be relocated to relatively better housing, the government has said on several occasions. They will be able to live in Bhasanchar much better than Cox’s Bazar.
