Congress spokesman Valji Bagda said here on Thursday that life in the quake-ravaged areas of Bhuj and other towns of Kutch continues to be at a standstill. Debris have not been cleared and smell of rotting bodies remains. No help has reached the unfortunate people in the interiors of Kutch. Though some roads have been cleared, interior areas are inaccessible. The condition of villages is worse.
People still sleep in the open.
Two months have passed since people lost their near and dear ones apart from houses. Many sufferers have not been given the promised cash doles. This has forced them to launch agitation and sit on dharnas in front of government offices. He said the government had promised people to clear debris and pay Rs 40 per labourer. Till date, not a single relief work has been taken up.
