Relocation of exiled Bhutanese from Timai camp will commence from Monday.
The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) said, for easy consolidation of people 241 new huts have been already constructed so far.
In the first lot, four families – Jyoti Gurung, Laxmi Gurung, Saru Gurung and Ishak Gurung, are being planned to be shifted, informed one officer of the LWF.
“We have planned to shift some 77 vulnerable families to be shifted near the service center and in the areas with their family linkage,” said the officer.
Timai camp, which houses some 4700 exiled Bhutanese, is the second camp after Goldhap to suffer camp merging.
Some 200 families will be shifted to Sanischare camp of Morang district. Three camps in Beldangi would have around 700 families from Timai, according to the source.
The LWF further said that it has planned to issue a single hut for family size up to seven, double huts for family size up to 17, and triple huts above that.
The Federation last week assured various community programs like plantation, support for community school, gravelling of road, and different income generating schemes, among others for the local community of Santinagar Village Development Committee, Timai, that hosted the refugee community for two decades.
“If everything goes as per our plan, the relocation will complete by December.”
