More than 60+ Rohingya Refugees from Bangladesh landed this morning at Malacca Jetty in Car Nicobar. The refugees reportedly berthed their boat on the un-operational Malacca Jetty this morning.
Men, girls, kids, and even infants are onboard the boat.
The well being situation of these onboard continues to be not recognized. Police reached Malacca Jetty instantly after receiving the data.
The basic public is being avoided the jetty.
Further info is awaited.
The Rohingya folks are a stateless Indo-Aryan ethnic group who predominantly comply with Islam and reside in Rakhine State, Myanmar (beforehand often called Burma). Before the Rohingya genocide in 2017, when over 740,000 fled to Bangladesh, an estimated 1.4 million Rohingya lived in Myanmar.
