Heavy downpour adds to hardships of villagers as makeshift accommodation raises health and safety worries

Survivors sitting inside a container
On Sunday night, a heavy downpour and the deafening sound of rain hitting the containers’ leaky metal roofs left the landslide survivors sleepless in their makeshift accommodations. These almost-to-be-scrapped containers have been allotted to the victims, serving as temporary homes for the next three months.
Speaking to mid-day, Madhav Maruti Supak, 24, recounted his survival amidst the tragedy. Unfortunately, his uncle and 11 other family members, including three-year-old Devika (alias Kinda), could not be saved. Only two out of the 11 bodies, including that of the three-year-old and his uncle Kirshad Pirkad, 28, have been recovered from the debris.
