DOT Desk: [2] While talking to The Business Standard, Monjur Alam said they were encouraging their relatives to come to Bhashan Char – an island under Noakhali’s Hatiya upazila located in the Bay of Bengal. [3] “The place is very nice and seems safe to me. The Bangladesh government did not force us to come here; rather we came here willingly,” he said.
[4] Many others were also seen busy informing their fellow Rohingyas and their relatives about their new abode back in the Cox’s Bazar camps. [5] Their relatives too were very much eager to know about the new habitat, they said. [6] Yesterday morning, Rohingyas at Bhashan Char were given pulao-chicken-eggs for breakfast. They will be provided with cooked food for the next few days, said authorities concerned.
[7] However, the Rohingyas said they would be able to return to a normal life if they were given gas and stoves for cooking.
