In Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh, a case of shame to humanity has come to the fore. After the sudden death of the woman in the night, the poor husband performed her last rites by begging in the village. The video of husband begging is also going viral on social media, although the administration claims that the benefits of government schemes will reach every eligible person, but how hollow is this claim. Its hallmark has been seen in Shahjahanpur. Although the husband is telling the death of his wife due to cold.
At the same time, the villagers are also talking about death due to cold, but no administrative officer is ready to say anything in this whole matter. While the video of begging may have shaken humanity, but it has also exposed the failures of governance and administration somewhere.
There is no bed and quilt in the house
In fact, the matter pertains to Dhukari Buzurg village of Thana Banda area. Geeta Devi, the 48-year-old wife of Gangaram, who lives here, died suddenly two days ago at night. The economic condition of Gangaram is very bad. Gangaram’s condition is so bad that he has been living for years by putting a tin shed on his house. There is neither a quilt nor a bed in his house. Gangaram and his wife used to sleep by spreading straw on the ground. Many times Gangaram made rounds of the officials for government help, but he could not get any government help.
Wife’s funeral done by begging
Gangaram says that he is very poor, he has neither ration card, nor utensils nor bed. He has not got the benefit of any kind of government scheme. His wife was mentally weak, she died on Wednesday night, then he cremated her by asking for donations from the people of the village. The video of asking for donations is going viral on social media.
This shameful case of humanity is from the district in which six BJP MLAs, two MPs, MLCs and three ministers are in the UP government, but a poor man had to perform the last rites of his wife by begging in the village. This matter has become a topic of discussion in this area at this time.
