In 1970, 65 Bengali refugee families from East Pakistan arrived in Uttar Pradesh. These families were temporarily rehabilitated in the Madan Cotton Mill in Hastinapur Meerut. However, the mill closed on August 8, 1984. So, once again, the crisis of homelessness fell on these refugee families.

All members of Evanna’s two families have died. The remaining 63 families have been awaiting rehabilitation since 1984.
