Likewise, compensation was also sought to make up the losses of the business community, transporters, hotel industry, petrol tankers operators and farmers who are forced to abandon their standing crops and vacate the border areas. The issue of losses of education to the children due to closure of almost all the schoolsin border areas and more to accommodate the migrated population was also projected with a request of special recruitment drive for these unemployed youth with relaxed education and qualitative requirement.
