AGARTALA / AMBASSA, June 2 (TIWN): Voicing against the long deprivation and alleged corruption, Tripura's surrendered militants sat on Hunger Strike at Licha camp under Ambassa. This hunger strike was called by a joint forum of surrendered militants named 'Joint Action Co-ordination Committee' (JACC). The protesters alleged that even though the returnees are living normal lives but suffering from various burning problems. Due to various corruptions under Dhalai the BRP, IAY, PMAY schemes under RD Dept could not facilitate the returnees till day and continuous massive looting of helpless people's money turned the matter worst. Eventhough various times they raised demands for proper implementation of the scheme for them, but the Dept remained silent with such issues. Thus, seeking a permanent solution to the problems, the forum has sat in hunger strike and if within 12 hours of hunger strike their demands are not fulfilled, a 72 hours road blockade will be conducted in front of DM Office.

Another allegation was also brought that a total 1148 Nos of returnees is not recorded in the S.P. Office.
