“Meanwhile we have signed an agreement for the Rohingyas’ repatriation with Myanmar,” said Planning Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal at a press conference. This project was undertaken to provide them with shelter.”The proposed location is 21 nautical miles from Noakhali. The project will mostly focus on land development on the island and providing protections to residents against the sea. Earlier this year, Reuters published a report calling the island dangerous for habitation, saying it was prone to bandit attacks, floods and cyclones. The government will welcome any donors to the project, the planning minister said.
