Chakma organisations claim Tripuris are allowed to settle while Rohingya people are arrested
A conglomerate of six Chakma organisations in Tripura have demanded a probe into the entry of about 10,000 Tripuri people from Bangladesh while Rohingya refugees have been arrested.
In a memorandum submitted to Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb on Monday, organisations such as the Chakma Buddhist Welfare Society and the Chakma Development Foundation of India said repeated attacks by Bengali Muslim settlers in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) of Bangladesh made at least 10,000 Tripuris take refuge in the adjoining Dhalai and South Tripura districts of Tripura.
There are about 3,00,000 Tripuris in the CHT. The Tripuris are also among the 19 recognised tribes of Tripura.

When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
