More than 100 households of Hindu people whose homes were burnt down in the terrorist attacks in 2017 have been relocated but some families have yet to get new homes, said Hindu leader Ani Maw from Maungdaw Township, Rakhine State.
"138 homeless Hindu families have got new homes. They were resettled in 148 homes in Aungbala Village donated by the Indian government. They have just got homes for about 10 days. There are still over 80 households with nearly 400 people living in tents behind the district commissioner's office," he said.
The 138 households were relocated at the end of September.
In the terrorist attacks in 2017, Hindu people from 15 villages including Khamaungseik and Yebawkya where almost all of the villagers were murdered fled to Sittway. Then they had to stay in tents behind the district commissioner's office in Maungdaw.
The Indian government built 250 homes for Hindus, Bengalis and Rakhine people who were made homeless after their homes were burnt down in the attacks. A ceremony to hand over the new homes took place in Maungdaw on July 9 this year.
