Life in Tents: Struggles of Displaced Families
Families evacuated from Yamuna Khadar are now living in makeshift tents on roads. Scenes outside Shastri Park Metro station show rows of white conical tents, damp mats, and clothes hanging on ropes.
Inside one tent, Kamlawati, an elderly woman, pointed to a small polythene bag in a corner and said, “This is all that is left.” People sleep on scrap plywood boards, thermocol sheets, or rickshaw carts in the absence of proper bedding.
For Poonam, a mother of a six-month-old baby, the struggle is even harder. “Living under the open sky with a child like this is very difficult. There is no privacy, no comfort, and we worry about the baby’s health every moment,” she said.
