The Chin Refugee Committee (CRC) met Mizoram MP (Rajya Sabha (Council of States) is the upper house of the Parliament of India) Richard Vanlalhmangaiha in New Delhi, India, on April 26 to present the plight of Myanmar refugees in New Delhi, the Chin Refugee Committee (CRC) said in a statement on April 26.
The CRC, led by the Chairman of the Chin Refugee Committee (CRC), met with Mizoram MP Richard Vanlalhmangaiha and presented the plight of Myanmar refugees in New Delhi.
The CRC’s presentations included the following: The Indian authorities should be informed about the security issues, including harassment by locals in workshops and police raids on Christian churches.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has been slow to recognize the refugee status of those who fled after the military coup in Myanmar, so they should meet with the UNHCR to expedite the refugee screening process.
The Foreigners Registration Office (FRRO) in India has stopped issuing visas to refugees, causing overstayers to pay fines and those leaving for third countries to be held accountable, and the inability to obtain a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC), among other issues, they said.
MP Richard Vanlalhmangaiha also said that he would meet with UNHCR and relevant Indian authorities to discuss the plight of the Myanmar refugees and requested the Chin Refugee Committee (CRC) to help control the flow of drugs from Myanmar into Mizoram.
The officials of the Chin Refugee Committee (CRC) met with MP Richard Vanlalhmangaiha at his office from 12 noon to 3 pm and presented the plight of the Myanmar refugees in New Delhi.
