The Institute of Chin Affairs (ICA) released a report on Saturday, claiming that almost half of the population of Chinland have been displaced from their homes since the military coup on Feb. 1, 2021. 


“These displaced people only rely on aid groups. Access of border crossing to India became difficult due to the restrictions and seeking refuge there is not easy [anymore],” Salai Van Swisan, the ICA information officer, told DVB. 


The population of Chinland is 500,000, according to the 2014 census. An estimated 65,000 of them have fled across the border into India seeking refuge.
