Boiled Rice & Salt — Bengal's Post Lockdown Reality
The New Indian Express Chennai
|July 14, 2020
When Sanjoy Parui (21) returned home from Andhra Pradesh some months back, he was so weak that when he spoke, he had to pause between words. His family had only boiled rice to offer. “We got free rice and wheat from the local ration shop. Now we have no money to buy vegetables and mustard oil to cook food. I couldn’t even afford a packet of salt,” says an emaciated Sanjoy.
Three months ago, he couldn’t imagine things would come to such a pass. It is a nightmare,’’ mutters Sanjoy, as he vacuously looks at the wetland that brimmed with fish a year ago, providing jobs to daily wagers.
