about the lack of maintenance and irresponsibility of the Sub-Inspector in charge. He
blamed the inspector for his lost lastly.”
Around 6 in the evening she was playing outside and there was a pile of dry leaves which
was set on fire. She fell into it and burnt. The workers who usually clean the area set the pile
of dry leaves on fire. Jyotikala, quarter in-charge said “The workers cleaned the area and
they collected the leaves and dumped it a place. The workers set it on fire later without my
knowledge.”
The family has left their quarter for a while and went to their native place.

really sad for what happened. Mostly the area is cleaned all the time. They always pick up
all the garbage and dry leaves. But this time I don’t know.”
Due to the ignorance of the workers innocent three year old lost her life.
