Husband died two ages ago. From then on the life of the struggle began. At the door, the door raised two children. The boys are now busy with their own family. The mother does not have a place in their house. In the negligence of the children, a hundred -year -old mother is spending the day in a chicken (chicken house).
I was talking about Lalbadu Begum, a resident of Laukathi village of Patuakhali Sadar upazila. His eldest son Mostafa and younger son Nasir are both busy with their families. Lalbaru lives with the elder son Mostafa. But the tragic thing is, he has no place in that room. The whole time of the day is kept in the chicken. Every morning, locking the house and leaving Lalbadu from outside his son and son’s wife.
Surgemin is seen in the chicken room, Lalbaru Begum, who is burdened with age. The body of the skeleton. Bandage to the left. The impression of frustration in the face.
According to the findings, the administration had evacuated many illegal houses that occupied the Lohalia and Laukathi rivers of Patuakhali in 2022. From then on, Mostafa took shelter with his family on the other side of the river. It is there that Tinshed is a temporary house, where often the tidal water floats around.
Every morning Mostafa goes out to run the autorickshaw. And his wife Rina Begum went to work at another’s home. At work, both of them locked the door of the house. The old lady leaves Lalbadu in the front courtyard of the house. Lalbaru movement is unable to move alone. The house is high Can’t get in. The toilet inside the room is also out of its reach. He was forced to spend most of the day in the chicken. There is an old mat, a torn kantha and some clothes for his accommodation. On the rainy day, rainwater falls inside, and again the heat comes down.
Lalbaru said in the throat, “Saradin is sitting in this open, sometimes sleeping a little. But cannot sleep at night. The whole body is in pain, the heat stops in the heat. Big boy Mostafa sometimes gives something to eat, then eat. But it does not always give. So the area of the area is to turn around. You have to eat begging. ‘
“I fell to the courtyard a few days ago,” he said. I have pain in the head. Breaking hands The doctor didn’t show. The pain of the body and the mind burns. May Allah not give such a life. ‘
Rina Begum, daughter of Lalbaru Begum, said, ‘We are very troubled. Once cooked once it is not another. I go to work in the morning, return in the evening. Mother -in -law cannot walk alone. The house is high, can’t get in. You are outside the skull so that he can sit easily. If you put it inside, he can’t go to the toilet, it is difficult. If you do not lock, there is no room in the house, theft is stolen. So forced to lock. He is out of the house, come and give food in the evening. ‘
Lalbar’s grandson Shipon Khan said, ‘My grandmother lives all day. In the afternoon, the mother gives food. It’s been a long time, when the mother could not bring anything, the grandmother had not eaten. I used to work before. Excluded from there too. I can’t do anything now. Grandma is very difficult, just look. ‘
Local brickwork manager Masud Howlader said, “The family is completely landless. The government or the union council does not receive any assistance. A safe house is very much needed for Lalbaru. ‘
Patuakhali Sadar Upazila Executive Officer (UNO) Iffat Ara Zaman Urmi told Jago News, “The matter has come to my attention. I’ll go to that house tomorrow. He will be given the necessary assistance on behalf of the government. ‘
