Khushboo Kumari from Balumath, Latehar tells that men and women in Balumath earn their incomes by doing manual labour work. She further says that due to high rates of inflation, a single member's earning in a family is not sufficient to provide for the entire family. That said, if any one member of the family falls sick then people don't get to eat meals for days, since the money for ration goes in purchasing medicines. She informs the government that in her area both men and women are daily wage labourers. So, when either of the husband or wife fall sick then the burden to earn sufficient money to provide for the entire family increases on the other member. So, in this situation these people have to take loans to pay for the medicines and the treatment. Therefore, she appeals to the Prime Minister to provide free medicines in the health centres and government hospitals to prepare the base for a healthy society.
