Three daughters of a labourer die of acute starvation in Delhi’s deputy CM’s constituency

Can anybody imagine that in the capital of India, Delhi someone can die of hunger. It really sounds unusual but it’s shocking and anguishing to say that three daughters of an unemployeed labourer between two to.eight years had died due to acute hunger in a rented house in Mandavali area, the assembly constituency of the Delhi’s deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia.

According to the sources a poor family of an unemployed labourer rented a room in a small house in Mandawali area of trans Yamuna vicinity, a few days ago. His wife was suffering from depression and mental derangement and as such could not look after the children properly.

It has been revealed that all the three daughters aged between two to eight years who were locked in the small rented room were with empty stomach and malnutrition for the last week and died today due to acute starvation after vomitting repeatedly. The three daughters eere taken to Lal Bahadur hospital where they were declared brought dead.

The father of the deceased children was out of the house for the last three days on a lookout for job. The neighbours called the police and the children were taken to the hospital but could not survive due to acute hunger having not consumed even a single morsal of food for the last seven, eight days.

In these days of materialism not even the neighbours take the pain to temperorily come to the rescue of the distressed neighbour. Had they been supportive or at least caring they could have informed the police in time in order to save these three ailing daughters out of acute hunger.

If the fragile daughters in Delhi hailing from a poor and dejected family , the capital city of India boasting of marching towards the 21st century can die of hunger one can imagine as to what would be the fate of our daughters in other distant parts of the country living in abject poverty.

What’s even more worrisome is the fact that the constituency where this shameful tragedy and naked incident of extreme poverty has occured is represented by the deputy chief minister of the national capital territory of Delhi who claim themselves as the greatest saviour of the poor, hapless and the down troddens of the society.

Not only this but just a few days ago several students of the Trilokpuri government school hailing from the lowest ebb of the society have been addmitted in hospitals for consuming poisionous meals delievered under the mid day milk scheme.

What is this happening in Delhi? The AAP government should immediately rectify the situation and ensure that such aweful incidents don’t accour in the near future.

The Deputy CM should compensate the family adequately with a minimum of Rs. Twenty five lakh rupees compensation compounded with the treatment of the deranged and mentally sick mother of the deceased daughters and government job to the poor unemployed labourer father.

Meanwhile a magisterial enquiry has been ordered into the incident and the autopsy report has confirmed death due to malnutrition and hunger.
