In June 2012, many Rohingyas’ homes were torched by the Natala villagers from Honsara and the Rohingyas are staying nearby Rohingyas’ house in same village for their safety, according to villagers.
 
“The lost homes owners went their locality again and wanted to build houses but the authority and Natala villagers didn’t allow to build houses in their old places.”
