Gandacherra, Oct 06: Despite the drowning of four fishermen in the Dumboor Lake seven months ago, their families on Sunday claimed that they are yet to receive the promised financial assistance from the government. Following the incident, the Sub-Divisional Magistrate had earlier announced Rs. 5 lakh compensation for each family within 24 hours, but the support is yet to be delivered.

Ranu Biswas, a resident of Narayanpur village lost her husband, Sanjit Nandi during a fishing trip when a natural disaster struck. Ranu Biswas revealed that she was initially surrounded by community support but now she finds herself alone, struggling to survive with her elderly mother-in-law and two-year-old son.

Ranu pleads for urgent help from the government or private organizations to assist her in this time of crisis, particularly in securing essential documents and supporting her son's education.
