Ex-KLO Militants Fast for Jobs in Cooch Behar

Some former members of a group called the Kamtapur Liberation Organisation (KLO) are very upset.

They gave up their militant activities and surrendered to the government a long time ago.

The government promised to give them jobs as special home guards, but many of them are still waiting.

They say their papers were checked and approved nearly five years ago, but they still don't have jobs.

So, they started a hunger strike in front of the municipal office in Cooch Behar.

They are taking turns fasting to show how serious they are.

They want the government to keep its promise and give them jobs soon.

They say they have been waiting for a long time and are getting older without work.
