Authorities in Mizoram have so far recorded the biometric details of over 43.53 per cent of the nearly 31,300 Myanmar refugees taking shelter in the northeastern state after fleeing their country in phases following the military coup in February 2021, officials said on Tuesday.
A senior official of the Mizoram Home Department said that biometric data of around 13,620 of the total of 31,300 refugees from Myanmar have been collected so far across various districts.
The Serchhip district administration in central Mizoram first launched the biometric enrolment drive for the refugees on 30 July, and subsequently, 10 other districts commenced the enrolment process.
According to the official, on the advice of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), the biometric enrolment process has been underway through the Foreigners Identification Portal and Biometric Enrolment (FIP&BE) system.
