Victims of tsunami forgotten

Hundreds of people, most of them from Alappuzha’s coastal belt, line up everyday before the Alappuzha Collectorate for what they say is a genuine right. These people are the victims of the tsunami-hit areas of the coastal belt who were denied state assistance. The Marxist-led State Government has hoodwinked them by rerouting the amount sanctioned by the Central Government. As part of their agitation hundreds sit in front of the Alappuzha civil station from early morning.

The people of the coastal belt have been on the warpath for the last one year. Nevertheless, the ruling Left Front Government is fooling these people with false promises. The latter should immediately issue adequate compensation to them. Since the fishermen and their families are taking part in the agitation every day, their children are denied the chance to go to school. As the matter is one of human rights, if the Government is unwilling to settle the issue, the Human Rights Commission should take it up.
