Around 14,000 voters belonging to migrant and newly settled Reang tribal people will cast their votes in the upcoming assembly election in Tripura. Additional Chief Electoral Officer, Ushajen Mog said 13,949 people from newly settled Bru community were enrolled in the electoral roll. These tribal people are settled in 12 locations in four districts of Tripura.
These Reangs, also called Bru, had been displaced from Mizoram two decades back and took shelter in North Tripura for over 20 years. Ultimately, these migrant people have been given permanent settlement in Tripura by means of a tripartite agreement signed among the Centre, State and the Reang/Bru community four years back. Currently, the Election Commission of India has included those about 14000 voters from 5,645 rehabilitated Reang families in the Tripura state electoral rolls.
