India hands over 250 houses for Rohingya in Myanmar’s Rakhine

NEW DELHI: India has handed over 250 prefabricated houses it built in Myanmar’s Rakhine state as part of a broader effort to help tens of thousands of Rohingya Muslims to return, an Indian official said on Thursday. An Indian official said the conditions had to be created for the Rohingyas’ return and India had started its $25 million development plan with a cluster of houses. Activists say development projects in Rakhine will have little impact unless human rights issues are addressed. (Reuters)
