JAMMU, Mar 6: The Central and Jammu and Kashmir Governments today set in motion the exercise for deportation of Rohingyas settled illegally in Jammu region for past several years by sending 155 Myanmar nationals to the first-ever ‘Holding Centre’ created at Hiranagar Jail and initiating registration of the foreigners settled in different parts at MA Stadium.
Even though registration of Rohingyas is on at MA Stadium where they are being shifted from their habitations including Sunjwan, Belicharana and Samba, preliminary estimates put their numbers around 6,000. However, the numbers could rise and exact figures would be known within a couple of days when the registration is completed.
Myanmar has requested the administration in Mizoram to send back 8 policemen, who have apparently crossed over to the northeastern state to take refuge, following last month's military coup in the neighbouring country, an official here said.
