Mizoram govt directs authorities against issuing birth, death certificates to refugees

In an order issued on January 31, the Mizoram government has reportedly directed authorities against issuing birth and death certificates to refugees and undocumented immigrants from countries such as Myanmar to ensure there are no claims of citizenship from them, Hindustan Times reported.

The order came amid an influx of refugees from Myanmar since March last year following the military coup in that country.

Around 40,000 people from Myanmar are estimated to be living in the state. Hundreds of refugees from Bangladesh have also recently entered Mizoram.
