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 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.

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.
