A decent two-time meal and good education for children
are the expectations of a group of Myanmar citizens, who fled their country and
are now taking shelter in Mizoram, from the new government in the northeastern State
of Bharat where assembly polls are scheduled on November 7.
After fleeing their country in the first part of 2021,
these people, who have been living in the Sihhmui camp, expect that the Mizoram
Government will continue to support them by providing rations and other
essential items like it was doing before September this year.
Altogether 130 people, who are presently staying in
two tin-roofed halls with temporary bamboo walls, are looking for jobs to
sustain their families. They would also like to access basic medical care and
better amenities at their camp.
“The expectation from the new Mizoram Government is
that they continue providing us the ration and essential items. For the last
two months, life has been difficult in the relief camp after the government
stopped the supplies,” said Kapthang, who hails from Matupi town in Chin State
of Myanmar.
