Translation summary: The government is planning to relocate the third batch of Rohingyas from the camps in Cox's Bazar to Bhashan Char at the end of this month.

Those who have already been relocated to Bhashan Char are doing good”- he added. A Rohingya from Kutupalong camp named Azim Ullah from camp 2 said,” I personally don’t want to be relocated because I won’t be able to meet my families or respond to any emergency situation. Bhashan Char is like a prison to me. We are not allowed to move into the mainland and the transportation costs are high. But some families are willingly relocating there as they find difficulties staying in this congested area”.
A Rohingya unwilling to mention name from Bhashan Char said, “we were given many promises by the Government and I believe every promise will be kept. We are given food and shelters, but we have no sources of income”.
