As a result these huge number of the surrendered group are facing various problems in taking care of their livelihood as the Government has not taken any initiative in arranging their earning so that they could have been able to look after themselves and their family members.

A memorandum containing eight demands such as arrangements of income source for the surrenderees, facilities of getting financial loans, Government�s sincere steps for the development for each and every district of Assam, among others have been forwarded to the President of India, Union Home Minister, Chief Minister of Assam through Kumud Kalita, Deputy Commissioner, Dhubri.
