Water crisis
Nabila Rafique, Final year LLB, University of London
Since day before yesterday, there is no water in Tejkunipara. Today is the third day into the crisis, and nobody has anything to do about it- the authorities gave no warnings, are giving no explanations, and neither any estimation of how long such conditions will persist. Throughout yesterday and today I witnessed people carrying kolshi, buckets, and containers commuting to get water from other places. I woke up early hearing my neighbours shouting in desperation for water. Apparently, the whole of Tejkunipara is submerged in a crisis. The authorities must remember that people are passing through a crisis, and any such crisis is capable of driving the human mind to extremes. Instead of basking in illusions of their good deeds, the government must work to solve this problem.
