No one from here has ever gone back,” he said.Rehana Adeeb from Astitva, an NGO working for riots victims, said, “Not a single person has returned to villages like Lank and Bahawadi in Shamli and Phugana, Kakra and Kutba in Muzaffarnagar.

Anyone who wants to go back will get the administration complete help and support.
