On Sunday a football match was held at Bhasanchar in Noakhali. There is an open space in front of Guchhgram 6 and 7. The Rohingya children came there with football in the afternoon. At other times of the day, the children play soccer on the open field in front of the house in various locations. The gallery has been converted into a terrace, as it is a playground right in front of the house. Others had the opportunity to watch the children and watch the game while sitting on the veranda.
The Rohingya girls also walked through the house yesterday afternoon. Besides sports, they also shared stories with friends in the new environment.
Commodore Abdullah Al Mamun Chowdhury, Bhasanchar’s Asrayan-3 project manager, told Kaler Kantha on Sunday evening: “We are distributing food to them (Rohingya). Starting tomorrow they will cook and eat their own food. I’ve been providing cooked food to you since last Friday. There is much more progress, he said. The Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA) will launch ‘Sea Truck’ from Noakhali to Bhasanchar starting next week.
1,742 Rohingya voluntarily went to Bhasanchar from Cox’s Bazar last Friday. Speaking with Kaler Kantho, many of them said that they had come to Bhasanchar in the hope of a better life. While those 1,842 Rohingya are busy tidying their houses in Bhasanchar with the dream of a new life, several old Rohingya wait to leave Bhasanchar and go to Kutupalong.
A few months ago, 307 Rohingya were rescued from the sea and brought to Bhasanchar. Concerned people say that of those 307 people, there is only one complete family. The rest are separated from the family. Some of the other members of his family are at the Kutupalong Rohingya camp in Ukhia, Cox’s Bazar. That is why they want to return to the family.
They are known to be satisfied with the existing facilities in Bhasanchar, but want to go to Cox’s Bazar to return to their families. In this case, the government’s policy is not to force anyone. Old Rohingya can return to their families at Cox’s Bazar if they wish. If they want to again, the rest of their relatives can also come to Bhasanchar.
No specific date has been set for the Rohingya’s return to Cox’s Bazar. Because of this, they sometimes become restless. Yesterday there were also reports of such riots. However, the situation has been controlled for some time. During a field visit to Bhasanchar two days ago, it emerged that some of the newly arrived Rohingya had spoken to them, adding that they were aware of the fact that the Rohingya, who had been in Bhasanchar for a few months, wanted to return to Kutupalong. They have deliberately decided to come to Bhasanchar. They are satisfied with the environment they have seen. They are also advising their relatives in the Kutupalong Rohingya camp to come to Bhasanchar. Concerned people said the 1,642 Rohingya who came to Bhasanchar voluntarily could inspire many more Rohingya to come from Cox’s Bazar. In particular, these Rohingya can play a role in changing the attitudes of those who are skeptical of Bhasanchar.
Speaking on various levels, including the Rohingya leader, it was learned that only 306 people already stationed in Bhasanchar were trying to reach Malaysia before being rescued. They were tempted by human traffickers. Other countries did not allow Rohingya ships to enter their waters.
According to one source, of the 308 people, there are several Rohingya girls who were married in Malaysia by phone. They were going to visit their husbands in Malaysia. In Bhasanchar, the young women want to return to Cox’s Bazar to try to go to Malaysia. As a result, they are at great risk of falling victim to human traffickers again.
