deplorable
Economic hardship is more deadly than corona
The income of small traders, hawkers, private jobs, artisans stopped
Thousands of families need the help of ration shops and service
organizations for a two-course meal
Middle-class families are also finding it difficult to borrow money.
In Amreli district, the condition of thousands of families has become more
pitiable due to economic hardship than Korona. There are only 6 patients
with corona infection in the district but there are thousands of families
facing economic hardship.
More than two months have passed since the lockdown on Corona. After losing
the employment of small traders, artisans and hawkers for the last two
months, after saving the house for two months, now the savings have also
been spent. Borrowing money is not available from anywhere.
Even worse than the poor are the middle class families. It is not understood
how to bear the expenses including different loan installments, house
expenses, electricity bills, house rent.
For the last two months, food carts have been running with the help of
ration shops as well as service organizations. But Mobhi's night's sleep has
become haraam for middle class families as there is no footy in their
pockets.
It has become necessary for all government and co-operative banks in the
district to give loans to poor and middle class families on an immediate
basis in the range of Rs. This is because the state and central governments
have not shown any willingness to provide cash assistance to middle class
families. So there is an atmosphere of more anxiety.
