Half-starved family asking for help


NARASINHAPUR: “Babu, I am very poor and unable to arrange my meal for two-time in a day. After my body half-paralysed, I failed to run my kitchen. I ran to the Government offices for help, but yet to get the help for sustenance of my family,” lamented Sudarshan Nayak, from Kathaukhaja village under Narasinhapur block of Cuttack district, while narrating his sad stories of struggling with starvation.

Sudarshan, a wood-cutter in occupation, lost her wife and son-in-law in a prolonged disease. After the death of his son-in-law, his daughter and the widow of the deceased became a burden for him. After few days, his body from waist to leg paralysed and he could not move like before. His son left study and started living a miserable life with him.

Sudarshan was the lone bread winner for his family tried hard and harder to get rid of his ailment but failed. He lost his rest of property in treatment. He lives in a thatched house with his son and widow daughter. He had appealed before the district administration along with Minister Devi Prasad Mishra to help him out, but it has fallen into the deaf ears. He has not received yet the BPL card, old age pension, Antodaya card and stipend for physically challenged so far, Sudarshan alleged. He also appealed before media and common people to help him out.
