Kunti (49) cradles her three-year granddaughter in the courtyard of her humble residence unaware of the tragic development concerning the factory located just opposite her house in Sonipat.
“Humko toh nahi pata aisa hua hai. Shukar hai, humne kabhi dawai nahi li yahan se. (We are not aware of the development. Thank God, we did not take medicine from here),” a shocked Kunti said when told about the tragedy that happened in the South African nation of Gambia where 66 children died after allegedly consuming substandard cough syrups produced at the factory.
“That is why there were so many officials yesterday. We thought something has happened in the factory. Perhaps a fight,” said Simmi (25), Kunti’s daughter-in-law.
