Kuki chin refugees from Bangladesh are entering Mizoram to escape violence.

Aizawl: The number of Kuki chin refugees from Bangladesh has crossed 300 in Mizoram, with more refugees arriving in the northeastern state.

Kuki-Chin refugees who have arrived in Mizoram escaped violence in the Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh.

According to reports, Kuki Chin refugees from Bangladesh have taken refuge in Parva village in Mizoram.

Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are providing food, clothing and other relief items to the Kuki Chin refugees from Bangladesh, who are taking shelter in Mizoram.
The refugees have been sheltered in a school, a community hall, an anganwadi center and a sub-centre in Parva village in Mizoram.
The first batch of Kuki-Chin refugees from Bangladesh entered Mizoram’s Langtalai district on November 20.

Earlier, the central committee of the Young Mizo Association (YMA) or Central YMA in Mizoram had said that it would provide humanitarian aid to the Koki-chin refugees from Bangladesh.
The Mizoram cabinet also decided to provide temporary shelter, food and other basic amenities to the Bangladeshi nationals.

Bangladeshi nationals flee their homes and enter Mizoram on November 20 following armed clashes between the Bangladesh Army and the ethnic rebel group Kuki-Chin National Army (KNA).

The KNA is the armed wing of the Kuki-Chin National Front (MNF), an ethnic organization that demands a separate state and protection for the Mizo communities in Bangladesh.
Mizoram shares a 318 km long international border with Bangladesh.

The Koki-Chin communities in Bangladesh share ethnic ties and origins with the Mizos in Mizoram and many of them have relatives in the state.

In Mizoram, all ethnic Zo people are known as ‘Mizo’, while in Myanmar they are known as ‘Chin’ or Zomi or Laimi, and in Manipur they are sometimes known as ‘Kuki’. goes

The influx from Bangladesh comes at a time when Mizoram is dealing with more than 30,000 refugees from Myanmar, with which it shares a 510 km long border.
