BRAIN attempts to filter camp secetary candidates in Beldangi camps

The Bhutanese Refugee Association of Intellectual Novas (BRAIN) on Tuesday attempted to filter candidates contesting for a single post of camp secretary from three Beldangi camps. 

As number of candidates filing their nominations has crossed a dozen for a single position, BRAIN organized a public hearing in Beldangi-II today involving camp secretary candidates of the camp.

Local journalist Dikesh Lama moderated the program where rights defender Dr. KP Subedi from Jhapa and a Dutch researcher Ilse Griek were present as special guests. 

During the program, various candidates defended themselves as most suitable candidate for the post of camp secretary. 

Altogether, 15 candidates have declared their nominations for the post. However, they are yet to file their official candidacy. 

Some of them expressed their commitment that, if elected, they would work for the community and transform camps through various means while others said to control corruption, drug abuse and other forms of social crimes. 

Several candidates stressed the need for being impartial and transparent and said there should be no corruption in the camps. 

Meanwhile, general people spoke of the three durable solutions. They said camp secretaries should be able to work for all solutions equally, not just resettlement but also to pressurize the Government of Nepal and the UN Refugee Agency to open the door for repatriation and local integration.

UNHCR assures ration for deprived refugees through interim provision

The United Nations in High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has assured all seven Camp Secretaries of the camps that it would provide ration to all deprived refugees through interim provision on temporary basis.

UNHCR’s Country Representative in Nepal, Stephane Jaquemet, said the agency would work out with a government team to provide aid basket to refugees without identity cards and other asylum seekers until some major decision regarding their status is identified.

Jaquemet made such a remark at Damak of Jhapa district on Tuesday during a meeting with Camp Secretaries of all camps.

“We are very much concerned about their status. Right after the election of the Camp Management Committee, UNHCR will discuss this issue with the government and start distributing ration,” Bhanu Dhungana, Khudunabari Camp Secretary, quoted Jaquemet as saying to Dhungana’s delegation.

However, UNHCR’s Chief maintained that start of their registration would take time and that could happen only after the formation of new government in Nepal.

According to Dhungana, Camp Secretaries also submitted a detailed report of cases requiring official registration at the Government of Nepal.

“We conducted a hut-to-hut survey of such persons and found that 3190 persons are yet to be given refugee status,” Dhungana said.

However, according to the UNHCR, everyone who get ration would be qualified for the refugee status when the registration begins.
