The government Thursday claimed that it was facing difficulties to rehabilitate the ex-Kamaiyas after 20 thousand others submitted application pleading that they too are ex-Kamaiyas and are in dire need of help.

The government had recently called for application of ex-Kamaiyas in case they would be left out from the list of those who would be rehabilitated as per the government programme. To the dismay of the government 20 thousand more people have claimed to be ex-Kamaiyas. Government sources have stated that the fake ex-Kamaiyas are posing great difficulties in the rehabilitation work.

The ex-Kamaiyas were freed from bonded labour by the erstwhile Deuba government. Reports in the media have revealed that the ex-Kamaiyas are in a pathetic state without food and shelter in the absence of a concrete programme to rehabilitate them.
