Farooq-E-Azam, adviser to the liberation war affairs and disaster management ministries, said that the ongoing crisis is worsening due to the recent influx of Rohingyas.

He made these comments during a press briefing at the Office of the Refugee Relief and Repatriation Commissioner in Cox's Bazar on Tuesday evening.

"We want the Rohingyas to return to Myanmar with dignity as soon as possible," Farooq-E-Azam said.

Commenting on the new arrivals, he added: "We are not facilitating any infiltration, but they are entering through various means. It's a humanitarian issue. Since registration has not yet been completed, we cannot provide an exact number of the recent arrivals."

Regarding security at the Rohingya camps, the adviser emphasized that authorities have been instructed to remain vigilant, ensuring that the security of both the camps and the local population remains intact.

Earlier in the day, Farooq visited several Rohingya camps in Ukhiya, Cox's Bazar, where he interacted with Rohingya refugees and officials from government and private development organizations.
