The UN and other agencies reported that around 43,000 Rohingyas entered Bangladesh until January 3 since the military crackdown on the community in Myanmar began about three months ago.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina last week approved a plan to take immediate diplomatic initiatives to repatriate the Rohingyas living in Cox’s Bazar, and to count the number of Rohingyas living in Bangladesh.
The plan also includes taking initiatives to limit the movement of Rohingyas, according to some cabinet ministtry members.
The reports dated December 28, 2016 also put 43,000 as the approximate number of newly-arrived Rohingyas.
The reports mentioned about some proposals including taking diplomatic initiatives as must. The proposals also include counting the actual number of Rohingyas in Bangladesh to ensure their repatriation, and limiting their movement to ensure law and security and reduce transmittable diseases which can raise the local people’s health risks.
