I am really grateful to BJP, for thier strong support and cooperation. The compensation money or funds should be reached only to eligible or right victims and it should be done strongly acccording to the judegement and correct investigation. The official should meet the victims personally and hold a dialogue with them.In many villages, what it happens is that the villagers could not allow to express their freedomm or expressions and their voices could not be heard by the Government.So it is the right time, to visit every villages and amke an strong enquiry so that fictious and cheated persons should be bring to justice and most important is that the Village Council President should not play any role and they are not allowed to interfere. Let the truth alone triumphs.
It is really a depressing news to hear it. Well, all the credit goes to BJP. The compensation are means for the affected people of the Indo-Bangla border. But some of the culprits had withdrawn with the fictious name which I called it as illegal. The investigation should be made thoroughly and come to the justice. They should be punished or have to pay a penalty for the fraud.
