Three weeks ago, Tahira Begum, 25 a Rohingya refugee along with her husband and two kids, was living a harsh, but acceptable life in a one-room rented Jhuggi (hut) in Karyani Talab area of Narwal Jammu, where like her, hundreds of other Rohingya refugees live thus giving the area a pseudonym of refugee colony.
However, her world came crashing down when in the third week of May, her husband Mohd Rafiq died due to electrocution while fixing the main wire which supplied electricity to the refugee families, thrice a week, living in Jhuggis under the scorching heat. Now, Tahira along with her two kids are living alone with no one around to take care of them, besides the burden of being a refugee and widow on her shoulder. (Courtesy of twocircles.net)
