“However, the government is dismayed to see the generation of distorted and misinformation surrounding Bhasan Char and the relocation process,” the statement said. Accordingly, 1,642 refugees were relocated to Bhasan Char on Dec 4 in the first batch. The efficacy and strength of the infrastructure of Bhasan Char and its disaster protection measures have been tested during the deadly cyclone Amphan. The government said it has also ensured sufficient safety measures for the Rohingya in Bhasan Char. A high-level committee, under the direct supervision of the principal secretary, has been monitoring the activities in Bhasan Char.
