CRY of help for erosion victims

Here is an existential dilemma. They belonged to Bengal till they woke up one morning to find themselves in Jharkhand. Now both the states won't have them. Bengal won't have them because what was their village has submerged under the sea and they have scampered on to chars or new land emerging out of the sea which fall in Jharkhand. Jharkhand won't have them since they have papers that show them belonging to Bengal. And the chars of course will remain without any civic amenities as they are not revenue villages as yet.
