Champhai to launch biometric enrolment of refugees tomorrow
Imphal: Champhai district administration, which borders Myanmar and hosts the largest number of Myanmar refugees in Mizoram , will commence biometric enrolment of refugees from Thursday. The decision was formalised at a meeting chaired by deputy commissioner Mohammad Aaquib on Tuesday. Champhai currently shelters 13,586 refugees, the highest among Mizoram's 11 districts. The enrolment, using the 'Foreigners Identification Portal & Biometric Enrolment' (FIP&BE), will begin in Vengthlang, Kanan Veng, and Dinthar Veng neighbourhoods of Champhai town. The state home department has supplied all necessary equipment, and multiple teams are being formed from the offices of the Deputy Commissioner and Superintendent of Police to cover localities and villages. These teams will undergo training and receive area-specific refugee data on Wednesday. Village councils are expected to submit updated refugee numbers from their jurisdictions. Aaquib expressed confidence in the teams' ability to carry out the enrolment smoothly and appealed to village councils and civil society organisations — including the Young Mizo Association (YMA) and the Mizo Hmeichhe Insuihkhawm Pawl (MHIP) — for cooperation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You To Read in 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The meeting was also attended by additional DC K Zorammuana, SDO (Sadar) Ngulzathuama, additional SP Victor Zothansanga, and YMA leaders. As per latest records, Mizoram hosts 32,504 refugees from Myanmar, with Lawngtlai and Siaha districts following Champhai in refugee numbers. Meanwhile, Lunglei district, which shelters 1,991 Myanmar refugees, is also preparing for biometric enrolment by the end of July, according to DC Navneet Mann. The exercise was deferred during the previous Mizo National Front government in 2023 due to the state assembly elections. It was further delayed after the state and parliamentary polls due to a mismatch in format provided by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) — intended for illegal migrants marked for deportation, not displaced refugees.
