The biometric registration drive for Myanmar refugees in Mizoram has only 33 individuals left to enrol, according to reports.
Mizoram's ongoing biometric enrolment programme for Myanmar refugees has reached its final stage, with just 33 individuals yet to complete the process, officials said. The enrolment, aimed at documenting refugees for security and welfare purposes, has been underway for several months, and the latest figures indicate that the majority have already been registered.
Authorities have not disclosed the total number of refugees originally targeted, but the current count underscores that the remaining cohort is small. The enrolment is being carried out under the guidelines of the Ministry of Home Affairs, which oversees refugee registration across India.
The completion of biometric data collection is expected to facilitate the issuance of identity documents and access to government schemes for the refugees. Local officials have urged the remaining individuals to report to the designated centres promptly to finalise their registration.
No further details on the timeline for the final enrolments have been released, but the focus remains on ensuring that all eligible refugees are documented before the programme concludes.
