AGARTALA, Sep 22 (TIWN): The Deprived Returnees Movement Committee in a press conference held in Agartala Press Club gave an ultimatum of 2 days to Tripura Govt to schedule a talk with the committee of ‘Deprived Returnees’. Addressing the press meet, the Committee General Secretary Amrit Reang said that last on 6th February a meeting was held with the higher authority where they placed their demands but as no demand was fulfilled they protested for 2 days from 17th to 18th August in 2021. They had placed 9 points of demands.

Later the Tribal Welfare Dept Secretary assured them that their demands will be looked after and accordingly the protests were withdrawn but till date no response came from the authority categorically about the demands and issues.

Yesterday the Secretary of the Dept again called the General Secretary of the committee and asked them to join in a meeting, but after sometime another call came from Tribal Welfare Add Secretary saying that the meeting was cancelled due to a Govt programme being held in the auditorium.

Now the Returning have given an ultimatum to organize a meeting with them or they will go in road blockade from 6^th October at Champak Nagar which falls under National Highway.
