A group of Muslim Rohingyas have taken shelter in the Hafiz Babanagar and Kishanbagh districts of Hyderabad, southern India, where there are already a large number of Burmese citizens residing, said United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees field officer M Mandakini. “We don’t have the exact count of the people.
