Rohingya census extended by four days due to bad weather

It says the tens of thousands of unregistered Rohingyas have responded positively to the Census and 85 percent of the Rohingya households have already been covered by the Census.

The final census findings will be published in December, officials said.

The Rohingya census will continue in six districts - Cox's Bazar, Patuakhali, Khagrhachharhi, Bandarban, Chittagong and Rangamati until Monday, said Alamgir Hossain, director of the Survey on 'Unregistered persons of Myanmar origin living in Bangladesh'.

He said 50,000 households have been identified in these six districts for the survey that started on 2 June. (Courtesy of bdnews24.com)
