“A tree fell on our house. So my husband went to check outside. But a branch fell on him as well. I called 108. They said they were coming. They said the road is blocked due to a fallen tree, so they couldn’t come. The government should do something looking at my son’s plight and my plight. Otherwise, you can kill us too.

The deceased’s elder brother also passed away in shock of his younger brother’s death after a tree fell on him. The wife of the elder brother said that he “didn’t speak to anyone after his brother’s death”. “In the shock of his younger brother’s death, he didn’t eat and stopped talking to us and he died. No one has come and seen us despite giving the complaints. Till date no one has come and talked to us. That is why we came here to talk,” the woman said.
