The State Cabinet on Thursday cleared the proposal for resettlement of “Hindu Bengali families” displaced from erstwhile East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), currently residing in Meerut district.
According to the officials, 99 Hindu Bengali families displaced from East Pakistan have been “illegally” residing on the land meant for a lake in the Nangla Gosai village of Meerut district’s Mawana tehsil, for a long time.
