Bokaro: A devastating fire on Friday evening in Chitami village, Chas block, destroyed the home and belongings of Bindu Mahato. The fire consumed the entire tiled house, including essential goods, ration, documents, and cash. The fire brigade, alerted by BJP leader Kumar Amit and Chas Sub-Divisional Magistrate, managed to control the blaze, but by then, everything had been lost.
On Saturday, Kumar Amit visited the affected family to assess the damage. Expressing frustration over the lack of assistance from the district administration, Amit spoke to officials and demanded compensation from the Disaster Relief Fund. He also pointed out that the family had not benefited from any government schemes and was living in a makeshift house without electricity, relying on lamps for light.
Amit urged the administration to provide the family with benefits under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, Ujjwala Yojana, Ayushman Yojana, and other government schemes. In addition, he offered immediate financial support for relief. BJP Pindrajoda Mandal General Secretary Ratan Mahato and other local BJP members were also present during the visit.
