Home Minister said, “We have taken decision in the meeting to complete the project in short time. The project will be implemented by Army. Patrol will be increased.”

Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal said, “The curious people could not go to Bhashanchar without any need. I would like to inform this through you (journalists), so that the curious people refrain from visiting Bhashanchar. This decision has been taken (in the meeting) so that the curious people do not go to Bhashanchar and create another problem there without any need.”

Rohingyas were not shifted there forcibly. Only those who agreed, they were relocated to Bhashanchar.
