Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said the prolonged uncertainty of repatriation is enticing Rohingyas to get involved in criminal activities.
"They (Rohingyas) are becoming frustrated due to protracted uncertainty over their repatriation which has a potential risk as it entices many of them to get involved in criminal activities," she said.
The prime minister made the remarks when United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Fillippo Grandi paid a courtesy call on her at her official Ganabhaban residence.
PM's Press Secretary Ihsanul Karim briefed the newsmen after the meeting.
Sheikh Hasina told the UNHCR that the Bangladesh government is facilitating informal education following Myanmar's curriculum and language as well as skilled development activities keeping match with what is available in Rakhine state.
She said the environment of Ukhia in Cox's Bazar, which has a deep forest, has been ruined due to staying over 1.1 million forcibly displaced Myanmar nationals.
"They are reducing the forest by cutting trees and causing great environmental hazards in the area," she said.
She also said that 45,000 Rohingya babies are being born every year.
The prime minister said that her government has developed temporary shelter for the Rohingyas in Bhashanchar Island with all the facilities.
"Our government has developed Bhashanchar with all amenities to temporarily shelter 100,000 Rohingyas," she said.
She also said 30,000 Rohingyas have so far been shifted to the temporary shelter.
Sheikh Hasina appreciated UNHCR role in supporting refugees, stateless and displaced persons worldwide.
