The Mizoram government is prepared to initiate biometric enrollment for over 33,000 Myanmar refugees once instructed by the Centre, as per a Home Department official. Despite preparations, including setting up a new enrollment portal, the process awaits formal clearance. Earlier directives were temporarily halted due to state assembly election concerns, with assurances from Home Minister Amit Shah against deportation pending peace restoration in Myanmar. The refugees, including children, are currently housed in relief camps across various districts, with Champhai hosting the highest numbers.
