From a kutcha house to a pucca house – Dignity and peace return to a mother’s life
Raipur (thestates.news) |The years-long wait of 62-year-old Shammi Durgam of Naxal-affected village Usur, situated at the foothills of Karegutta mountain in Usur block of Bijapur district, was fulfilled on 15 May, when on the occasion of Sushasan Tihar organized in Galgam, Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai handed over the keys of a pucca house built under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana to her. Shammi Durgam became emotional after receiving the keys of the pucca house. Touching the cheeks of the Chief Minister affectionately, she said that living in a kutcha house for years was very difficult for her – there was a fear of insects and poisonous creatures in every season. She emotionally thanked Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai repeatedly and said – now there is peace in my life, and my children have a permanent roof over their heads.
