The barbaric killing of a mother and son over witchcraft allegations in Kalaiya village has prompted a decisive administrative intervention. Deputy Commissioner Chandan Kumar and SP Amit Renu reached the site Thursday, prioritizing empathy and action for the affected family in West Singhbhum’s Kumaradungi area.
Their visit began with heartfelt conversations, piecing together the ordeal from the family’s perspective. Extending their inquiry, they monitored the health updates of the injured individual under medical care, directing officials to spare no resources in recovery efforts.
Solidarity was the key message: the government machinery is fully mobilized to aid the survivors. Scrutiny revealed gaps in welfare access, leading to commands for immediate enrollment in ration distribution, pension schemes, and anganwadi services for children.
SP Renu turned attention to village security, deploying enhanced patrols and issuing a stern warning against superstitious violence. Culprits will face the full force of law, he affirmed, leaving no room for mob rule.
This proactive stance reflects a broader crackdown on age-old evils plaguing tribal belts. With continuous oversight promised, the administration aims to restore faith in institutional justice while securing the family’s future.
