Source: The post is based on the article “India, Bangladesh establish contact as more Kuki-Chin refugees are expected to enter Mizoram” published in The Hindu on 30th November 2022.
What is the News?
The Mizoram Cabinet has approved the setting up of temporary shelters and other amenities for Bangladeshi Kuki-Chin refugees.
Who are the Kuki-Chin refugees?
The Kuki-Chin people share ethnic ties with the Mizos. They are collectively called the Zo people.
The Kuki Chin people are settled in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, the only extensive hill area in Bangladesh that lies in the southeastern part of the country. It borders – Myanmar on the southeast, Tripura on the north, Mizoram on the east and the Chittagong — district on the west.
The refugee influx began after clashes broke out between the Kuki-Chin National Army and Bangladesh’s Rapid Action Battalion. The refugees had fled to escape being caught in the crossfire.
About India’s stand on Refugees
India is not a signatory to the United Nations Refugee Convention of 1951 and its 1967 Protocol and does not recognise refugees.
All foreign undocumented nationals are governed as per the provisions of The Foreigners Act, of 1946, The Registration of Foreigners Act, of 1939, The Passport (Entry into India) Act, of 19,20, and The Citizenship Act, of 1955.
