Police and Childline officials rescued 11 girls soon after they were brought in here from a Bru refugee camp in north Tripura on Wednesday. A middle aged man who escorted the girls in a vehicle bearing Meghalaya registration number was arrested.
The girls were inmates of a Mizoram Bru refugee camp at Gachiram Para in the Kanchanpur subdivision. Some 34,000 refugees have been housed in six makeshift camps in Kanchanpur for the past 24 years.
The refugees are now getting settlement in 12 different places in Tripura in pursuance with the quadripartite pact of the Ministry of Home Affairs with Tripura, Mizoram governments and leaders of the Bru refugees signed in January 2020.
