It had rained two days ago and the roof of the house suddenly collapsed on Sunday night due to the rain. She and her sons were sleeping in the verandah to protect themselves from the heat. If they had been inside the room, it would have been a big accident.

The gas cylinder and stove also got buried in the mud due to the roof falling. The whole family filled their stomachs by eating food at the neighbors' house. We have appealed to the government and administration officials to help us and give us proper compensation so that we can put a roof over our children's heads. In this rainy season, the roof has been snatched from our heads.
