Rohingyas will willingly go to Bhasan Char for its facilities and security measures: Home Minister

Rohingyas will willingly go to Bhasan Char in future because of its facilities and the security measures there, said Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal today.

"Previously, the Rohingyas had some misunderstanding about Bhasan Char and thought they would face problems there," said the minister while inaugurating the newly built Bhasan Char Police Station in Hatiya upazila, Noakhali today.

Those who have already gone to Bhasan Char are fascinated by its facilities and the security measures there, Kamal said.

Noakhali-6 MP Ayesha Ferdous, Public Security Division Senior Secretary Mostafa Kamal Uddin Inspector General of Police (IGP) Benazir Ahmed attended the inauguration programme, among others.

On December 3, last year, the government began transferring Rohingyas to Bhasan Char from the camps in Ukhiya and Teknaf in Cox's Bazar, where about a million of them have been living since August 2017.
