Dusma Sabar in Odisha’s Nuapada district has been desperately chasing a labour agent to bring back his son from a brick kiln in Telangana so that last rites of his deceased daughter-in-law could be performed.
His daughter-in-law, Tulsa Sabar, who was contesting in the upcoming rural elections for samiti member post in Badi panchayat, died suddenly on January 24. Mr. Sabar’s wife, son and niece are stranded in a brick-kiln in Peddapalli district of Telangana.
If three family members could not come home in such an emergency, where is the guarantee they would be allowed to return home to cast their votes in the Odisha panchayat polls scheduled for February third week?
