The Uttar Pradesh Government has passed a proposal to rehabilitate 63 Hindu Bengali families who migrated to India from Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) in 1970.
The State Cabinet late on Wednesday gave its nod to a rehabilitation scheme to allot 121.41 hectares in Bhaisaya village in Rasulabad Tehsil in Kanpur Dehat district for these “displaced” families.
The families would be allotted two acre each for farming activities, and 200 sq. metres of land for residential purposes for which they would be allotted ₹1.20 lakh per family to construct a house under the Mukhya Mantri Awaas Yojana, a Government spokesperson said.
