Guwahati, 25th April: Amidst the fervent campaign trail of the Lok Sabha elections, a poignant tale of disparity emerges from Bongaigaon, spotlighting the stark discrepancies in government scheme distribution.
Babita Roy, a resident of Abhayapuri in Bongaigaon district, finds herself excluded from the benefits of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), despite its ambitious aim to uplift the underprivileged. Residing in Bamungaon under Bodigaon panchayat, Babita’s plight underscores systemic gaps in essential resource allocation.
Enduring the challenges of sustaining her family amidst her husband’s illness, Babita, along with her two sons, grapples with the hardships of living in a dilapidated dwelling. Exacerbated during rainfall, their precarious living conditions leave them vulnerable to the elements, with little protection offered by their tin roof.
In her quest for assistance, Babita Roy’s plea for inclusion in PMAY and the Arunodaya scheme reverberates beyond local authorities, extending to the broader political arena. Her call to action directed at the state’s leadership during the recent general elections amplifies the urgency of addressing inequities in welfare initiatives.
Babita Roy’s resilience in the face of adversity serves as a poignant reminder of the larger struggle endured by marginalized communities, emphasizing the pressing need for comprehensive and equitable implementation of government aid programs.
