A resumption of armed conflict between the Myanmar army and Arakan Army (AA) has made over 300 Myanmar refugees reluctant to return to their villages, according to Telegraphindia.
The Arakan Army is a Rakhine rebel group in Myanmar and fights alongside the Kachin Independence Army against the Myanmar Army.
Police said nearly 1,750 Buddhist and Christian refugees from Myanmar's Rakhine state fled their villages, crossed the international border and entered Mizoram's Lawngtlai district in November last year after a crackdown launched by the Myanmar Army against the Arakan Army.
Nearly 321 refugees are still in Mizoram and are reluctant to return to their respective villages fearing reprisal as conflict between the two sides has intensified recently, the report said.
