Sattari: At 5:30 a.m.
on Friday, Wisnu Sawaikar, 89, woke up from his sleep with his family panic voices.
After being escorted by his sons, Sawaikar saw the house – built by his father almost 100 years ago – falling like a flock of cards in Advai, Sattari.
Within a few hours, 21 people from seven families of the Sawaikar clan were homeless.
“One first wall collapsed, then the other,” said Putra Wisnu Raghunath.
“We continued to move further into the house, until we realized the seven units would fall.
We stopped collecting our documents and finally rushed out.” About four houses belonging to the Sawaikar family collapsed because of the massive flood in advai in Sattari Taltari.
They are all saved.
But Friday floods have not destroyed their homes, but also destroyed hopes.
The family of horticulture belonging to the family is completely damaged.
“If the pepper round is under water for two days, they leave.
An ordinary horticulturists like me to finish.
Can you imagine disappointment after caring for plants for so long? Even worse, we can’t build a house here again.
We can’t risk , “he said.
Raghunath’s family house was built in 1924.
He was homeless, without a ray of hope.
And he is not alone.
At Masordem, closer to the city of Valpoi, every 41-year-old Francis Fernandes dream has continued his work on a cruise ship has been detained.
Fernandes lost his job during a pandemic and while working in a restaurant in Baga.
Beginning on Friday, he lost more.
“At 4 o’clock in the morning, my wife called to say that the surface of the water rose quickly and our house would collapse.
He left everything, and with a four and seven-year-old daughter behind him, starting walking out on the road in the rain.
He bravely,” Fernandes said.
Important Fernandes documents, including passports, are lost or damaged.
“It won’t easily make it back.
I will go with a cruise ship.
With a lost house and work is lost, all I can do is positively that my family is saved by my wife’s wife,” Fernandes said.
Jerome Mascarenhas’s milk farmer is not a bit positive.
He couldn’t choke when talking about the 10 cows he saw drowning right before his eyes.
Mascarenhas is in the situation monitoring warehouse until 3am.
The water from the rain was just an ankle, so without too much worries in his mind, he returned home.
“When I returned to check at 5:30 a.m., the water touched the roof of Cowshed,” said Mascarenhas.
“One calf managed to escape, another cow managed to free him.
We tried very hard, but could not help the rest.
This is not about monetary losses, the cows are very pleasant,” Mascarenhas said, choking for emotions.
Floods may be the result of continuous rain, in accordance with the authorities.
Many see it as a man-made disaster.
“This is a man-made disaster, not natural disaster,” Varun Sahakari said from Advoi.
“First, there is mud washing from the mine.
Now, Bandhara has been built unwisely in Ganjem.
The government only seemed to care about their thirst in the city.
Can’t see the pain of people in the village.”
