The site was selected by the Metuge Administration for households from Bandar Temporary Site, who were relocated in October 2020. The site was re-demarcated to ensure that shelters are in safe locations and to allow for circulation, all plots were filled. In December, tensions between the host community and IDP community were reported over access to water. By 18 December, additional water points had been added throughout the site and relations were reported as good. Over the last four months, additional communties have arrived at the site and been provided with land outside the original site boundry by the local community leaders. More recently arrived IDPs are from different communities and have different common languages and customs.
