Piteous cry
Some days ago I was reading a local newspaper, where a news item caught my attention. It was about a piteous cry of Mitu, a student of class-ix of the Newsprint School. She delivered an impassioned and a heart-touching speech in front of the gate of the Newsprint Mills. In her speech she pointed out the wrong decision taken by the govt which made a lot of people jobless who were dependent on this mills directly or indirectly. But, now they are going without food.
Last week, I went to my niece's school to bring her back. There I witnessed the relevance of that report. A man with frayed clothes, seemed to me weak and feeble, was begging but did not look like a professional beggar. I came to know from him that once he was an employee of the Newsprint Mills but now he has a huge debt burden.
It is a matter of sorrow that once the Newsprint Mills was a highly viable economic unit, but now it is on the verge of ruination due to lack of good management.
