Farooq E Azam, Adviser to the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief, stated that their goal is to ensure the Rohingyas can return to Myanmar with dignity.
He made this remark during a coordination meeting with NGOs, government officials, and law enforcement agencies in Cox’s Bazar today (September 24).
Addressing the recent influx of Rohingyas, Azam clarified that there is no active infiltration taking place and that the influx occurred due to humanitarian circumstances.
“The registration of the new influx is not completed yet, and we cannot say the exact number right now,” he added, adding that everyone should be conscious of the security of Cox’s Bazar.
Earlier in the morning, the adviser visited Rohingya camps in Ukhia accompanied by government officials and development organizations.
Refugee Relief and Repatriation Commissioner Mizanur Rahman presided over the coordination meeting where officials from the ministries, district administrations and law enforcement agencies were present.
