Special Report: Widow Struggles in Broken House: Sushila Mallick of Kendrapara Awaits Govt Help

A heart-wrenching report from Kendrapara highlights the plight of Sushila Mallick, a widow from Sialia village in Rajkanika Block. Since her husband's death eight years ago, Sushila has been living in a dilapidated thatched house with her elderly mother-in-law, Shantilata, and two daughters. The house is on the verge of collapse, with a leaking roof and cracked walls, posing a constant danger to the family.

Despite government promises of housing for the poor under schemes like Antyodaya, this family has been left behind. Sushila supports her family by tailoring, but income is scarce, often leaving them half-fed. Her daughter, Sailabala, dreams of education and a job to end their poverty, but financial constraints stand in the way.

The visuals of their living conditions are a stark reminder of administrative negligence. Upon being contacted, Rajkanika BDO Kailash Chandra Mahalik stated that an inquiry would be conducted by the PEO to provide necessary government assistance. The villagers have demanded immediate housing and educational support for the family.
