A massive fire broke out on Wednesday in the Dalit settlement of Kohdar Pahari, under the Meja police station area of Prayagraj. Two Dalit families' homes were completely destroyed in the incident. The affected families include Ram Milan Harijan (son of Jagannath Harijan) and Jagarnath (son of Ram Khelawan).
Social worker Sanjay Kesarwani said that the fire started suddenly, causing panic in the settlement. By the time the fire department arrived, both houses had been completely reduced to ashes.
All the household belongings kept in the houses were destroyed in the fire. As a result, both Dalit families have become homeless. They now have no means of shelter or food.
The affected families have appealed to the government and administration for immediate financial assistance and rehabilitation.
