ALL INDIA BSNL
PENSIONERS WELFARE ASSOCIATION TN CIRCLE
Today when the Chennai
Traffic District was distributing Floor Relief, our member Com. T.
DuraiRaj received the relief amount and his wife also thanked later
on Phone.
He shared with our
Circle Secretary the following information:
He is living 2/93
Nehru Street, Mettu Colony, Manapakkam, Chennai 600 125 ( Opp to MIOT
Hospital).He is living in slum area where 250 huts are there, which is on
the bank of " Chemmbrambakkm Lake". On the night of December 2015,
(Thandora) public
information system was given by the Revenue Department at 1200 mid night and
before we could evacuate the water started coming and was raising
in height at an alarming speed. We could not fetch any thing other
than saving our lives we ran towards Panachayat Office which was in higher
plane. There was no cloth or money we could carry. The First aid came
from the Indian Military that day evening and gave bedsheets
and there after started giving us food, water both in the morning
and in the evening till 10th of December 2015. So for no revenue of elected
representatives have visited our place. More than 100 people stayed in the
Pnachayat office which was lacking in basic amenities.
After return on 10th
our life continues to be misery beause even today there is water in all
the streets and inside the house two feet water which is stagnet.
Mosqutios and reptiles move freely and we are exposed to it. The Government
officials have come and given a standard form which we all have given .
It is told that maximum we may get only Rs.5000. We have lost everthing (
Ration Card, dress, Tv, Induction stove) what I saved in the last 40 years.
Their area people even prepared to take old good sarees. That is the
field reality. I am living with my wife and married daughter and Grand
Daugher ( BHAVANA) studying in I Std. is crying for books/note books she
lost in the flood. We have turned in to Firewood cooking.
Our Family
conveys Heartfelt thanks to the ALL INDIA BSNL PENSIONERS ASSOCIATION and
all the leaders who has taken the decision to help the flood
affected victms.
Long live Fraternity.
