Demolition at PESU
I stop to ask myself what determines our action. Its true Patna has experienced the consequences of water logging and it has become an eye sore. There is only one thing that the government knows and it is to remove encroachment. But before removing this there is no interest to find out how many people will be affected? Where will these people go? In the winter living in the open air because people have no alternative.
Hiring a room on rent is beyond their reach. They cannot afford it, there is disturbance to school, children to appear in the Board exams. Under such a circumstance no one wants to take responsibility and the poor remain without any one speaking for them.
The least we could do was distribute some food to the children early in the morning. Unfortunate the rain came and people cuddled under the plastic to keep themselves dry. The irony is that the place just in front of the secretariat where the entire offices of the government is….yet no one is affected.
We have approached many people and are trying to get alternative but failure to be sensitive to human misery disturbs us.
