Chaagan Dana’s ‘pakka’ house that got damaged due to cyclone at Saiyad Rajpara village in Una
SAIYAD RAJPARA (UNA): He took time to build his nest, brick by brick, a ‘pakka’ dream castle on the seashore that he had envisaged for his tiny family of five, comprising wife and three daughters. But Chaagan Dana’s dream crashed on the night of the cyclone and Tauktae made it his worst nightmare — the house turned into a grave for his 7-year-old daughter, while the other four had a providential escape.
The village has a population of around 10,000, most of whom are engaged in fishing. All of them own small boats and venture out in the sea for around 15 nautical miles only.
