TURA: Former militants of the ANVC (B), who are yet to get the rehabilitation package including stipends as promised by the government after they came over-ground, have expressed disappointment and threatened to return to their old way of life.
The cadres said that although it had been five years since they came over ground, they were yet to receive the financial package and other assistance given by the Centre from the state government due to which they were facing a great deal of hardships just to survive.
”We have not received any help from the government and it has neglected us for all these years. The Rs 2.5 lakh rehabilitation package as promised earlier including our stipends must be given immediately. If the government fails to do so, we will have to take other steps on our own,” the cadres said.
