DLSA secretary Kuldeep Sutrakar with the orphan children in Kalbeliya magra basti.
UDAIPUR: A day after the District Legal Services Authority reached the home of six orphaned children at Kalbeliya Magra basti in Badgaon block adjoining the city, voluntary organisations rushed to help the kids on Thursday. The parents of the kids were killed in an accident at Debari on September 18 last year. Follwoing DLSA chairman RP Soni’s instruction, secretary Kuldeep Suttrakar went to the basti on Wednesday and met the children.
The children’s father, Narayan (35), and mother Rekha (33) were ragpickers. After their death, the children were looked after by their grandmother Gama Devi (70) who received senior citizen pension of Rs 1,000 per month. Since the money was not sufficient for a household of seven members, the eldest boy also became a ragpicker.
