Siddapur: Unable to secure a Government house even after four years after her own house was devastated in the floods of Kodagu, a 66-year-old woman has written to the President of India, making a desperate plea to the Government, demanding assistance either in the form of a new house or permission to end her life.
Shantha’s story is a heartbreaking reminder of the plight of the flood victims in Kodagu. The Government which has a responsibility to help these people has done little to alleviate the suffering. The floods caused widespread devastation and the recovery process is still ongoing.
