Welcome Heroes to the Mainstream.... Govt. of Assam should take proper care of their safety and re-establishment.

Re-establishment by the Govt. of Assam...? Why.....don't these people have hands and legs and eyes, and brains ? Outsiders working in the State are establishing themselves all by themselves.... why does the Assamese always need a crutch called 'Government'?

This can not be considered as ultimate solution. Like present Tarun Gogoi late Hiteswar Saikia also tried to break down the out-fit but ultimate result is zero.

Security is the main cause behind their self reestablishment.... Provided security for a noble cause I too agree they need to established as they have shattered lives of many and even try to reconcile by helping administration and the people at large and become social.
