Mandi cloudburst, when the havoc of nature breaks, it not only takes homes and roads, but also takes away the breath of life. This horrific flood of Saraj Valley spread one such painful scene, when Budharam’s life was destroyed in front of his eyes and his heart could not bear this tragedy.
Budharam was a transporter. He had bought five vehicles from years of hard work and struggle, it had three taxis, this was his livelihood, that was also the future of his children. But the flood on the night of 30 June became a time for him.
When he saw the view of the house, the ground slipped under his feet. The fast flowing drain was taken away with him. His five vehicles were now lost in debris and water. He screamed and called the nearby people, also ran on the banks of the drain, but nothing was left. Everything was looted.
Put hands on the chest and fell stuttering
It is said that Budharam kept trying to find something in the rubble for a while, sometimes weeping, sometimes looking at that flowing water. Then suddenly he put his hand on the chest, stumbled and fell there. The villagers immediately picked them up, but by then it was late.
This death is not a figure, the helpless suffering of disaster
Budharam’s death is not a figure, but a picture of the helpless suffering that the common man withstands during the disaster. The only earner of the house is no longer in this world. His wife, son and a daughter are crying cry. The eyes of the entire village are moist. Saraj lost not only his vehicles, but also a living heart man.
