AGARTALA, Aug 21 (TIWN): The Udbastu families, from Bengali community who were victims of ethnic terrorism in Jumpuijala areas have once again demanded compensation and rehabilitation for which they are protesting for 21 years.

The Udbastus were protesting since decades but their demands were neither accepted nor rejected.

Thus again on Wednesday the de-sheltered families held a press meet announcing about registered committee formation.

The 'Udbastu' (refugee) families who had to escaped from the ADC areas after their family members were killed, kidnapped by militants, till day maximum of them are residing either in relative's houses or in rents across Agartala, Bishalgarh. The de-sheltering of local residents had begun since 1994 and especially in 1998, 1999, 2000 and step by step from sensitive places like Jampuijala, Takarjala, Gadarbi and Golaghati the Bengali local people marked as 'Bangladeshi' were de-sheltered. Above 100 people till day are missing and total 65 persons killed during that militancy-tension time which led them to flew from ADCs on that time. After bundles of protests, held by the Udbastus in Tripura, the state govt had failed to provide them homes and the role of opposition parties also remained so far cold.
