However, their request to meet the local police officers to discuss the issue was turned down, reports said.
The team has come here following reports of the administration snapping water and electric supply to a settlement of Rohingyas. Senior Protection Officer, Tomoko Fukumura, along with Protection Associate Ragini Zutushi, met the Rohingya and some local residents in the Kiryani Talab area of Narwal, an official said.
