Bantwal: Elderly couple live in dilapidated house, no help from administration


Daijiworld Media Network – Bantwal (MS)

Bantwal, May 13: Shanthappa Poojary and Hemavathi couple, residents of Nati Tanjalpalke under the limits of Narikombu gram panchayat live in fear as their house is dilapidated.

The couple live in a house that is covered by cement sheet which may fly off to wind during rain. Water seeps inside the house. Moreover, there is a huge mango tree over their house, which may crush them if it falls down.

Most parts of the house have collapsed and tiles are strewn all over the place. Now they are using arecanut branches as support and tarpaulin is put on the roof.

The couple are left with just one room in front of the house. The rest portion of the house is collapsed. Even the walls of the room in which they live may come down anytime. They have built a thatched hut near the house and use it as their kitchen. They do not have children. So both are living a virtually tough life at this advanced age. If they get some daily wage work, they have income. Otherwise, they have nothing to eat.

As the couple are old, they cannot do physical work. Hemavati suffers from Asthma. They were allotted a house under the Basava Vasati scheme in 2016-17 by the gram panchayat. They put foundation and wall of the small house nearby the old house in which they are living now. They had to complete the lintel work if the next instalment of financial aid has to be released by the government. However, as they do not have a single rupee, they are not able to build it further. So the instalment is not yet released.

As they are unable to complete the lintel work of their new house, its work is stalled for the past two years. Now bushes and plants have grown over its foundation and walls. Now the time period of house construction under the promised scheme is over and the couple are concerned about their future.

    Where is Vanara sane, Muthalik Sane, Dr.K and all sane' s . Are they busy chasing cows or may be in the restaurant enjoying yammy. Its dangerous to assist the needy now a days. you never know the same will paint you with conversion and helping will only invite you trouble for no reason/ Be careful before helping.

    Vanara sane, Muthalik Sane, Dr.K and all sane' s , Manara sene only interested in cases benefit to them which has Hindutva - Hinduvadi, trishool issues etc , mostly they protest where rowdies murdered by opposition gang and demand for 25 Lacks for Rowdies family - because rowdies worked for teir Saffron party including Pumpwell do the same.

    What are those house schemes from the govt...? Without releasing the full amount, why they release small small amounts since 2016 ??? How many years have passed? Very poor administration from the govt. Govt and his officials are busy throwing stones at public on controversial topics.....No work is to be done anywhere in govt offices on time in one or two visits.....Disgusting

    Madam....sooombe.....we cannot interfere in this matter. Aren't you read the news whats going on in karnataka? If we interfere alongwith me, you too are pulled into controversial arguments that we are converting them taking their weakness as advantage. Secondly its in Bantwal...totally different district....they wil kick me off if i open my mouth.
