One has been hearing a number of versions of why and how violence broke out in Muzaffarnagar and the adjoining areas but the need of the hour lies in rebuilding lost trust and correcting the inhuman conditions that prevail in the relief camps, writes Mariya salim.
NEARLY two months after riots broke out in Muzaffarnagar and the adjoining districts, the survivors continue to live in camps, more than 35,000 of them, in sub-humane conditions, too petrified to return to the villages they once referred to as “home”. With political mudslinging taking centrestage even after the violence continues to haunt people of both communities, a look at one of the relief camps, Malakpur, reminds one of how disastrous a riot can be for thousands of innocent victims.
