Irony at ‘Sushasan Tihar’ as Tribal Couple Begs for Shelter

The ‘Sushasan Tihar’ camp in Gariaband, meant to bring government services directly to the people, witnessed a scene that highlighted administrative gaps. An elderly couple from the Kamar tribe was seen falling at the feet of the Zila Panchayat CEO to beg for a house. Their struggle for shelter has been long, marked by repeated visits to offices that yielded no results. Their dramatic gesture in a public forum was a desperate attempt to get attention after failing through regular channels. Witnesses were visibly moved as the elderly woman and man, with folded hands, appealed for a dignified living space, underscoreing the need for a more responsive administrative framework.
