Whether they have received any comment from the Indian Government on the report by three journalists on the circumstances of the refugees from the Chittagong Hill tracts in the camps in South Tripura, and whether they will now suggest to the Indian Government that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees be invited to the camps to assess and help provide for the humanitarian needs of these refugees.
