Reang refugees in Tripura

Reangs, who fled Mizoram in the wake of inter-community violence and are now housed in refugee camps in Tripura, face an uncertain future. AS many as 35,000 people of the Reang tribe, who have crossed over from Mizoram to Tripura since October 1998 following atrocities committed against them allegedly by Mizos, are stranded in eight camps in North Tripura, india. Their lives are full of uncertainties: a political solution to their problems is nowhere in sight and death and disease stalk the camps.
