Mukti reconstructing the river Embankment at Brajaballavpur Gram Panchayat

In the middle of COVID-19 pandemic, Amphan one of the fiercest cyclones to have affected West Bengal, Odisha, and neighboring Bangladesh in decades, has unleashed havoc on the ecologically sensitive Sunderbans region. Cyclone Amphan in 3 hours destroyed a few million livelihoods and uprooted many families in Bengal.

The cyclone has destroyed the river embankment across the Sunderbans which has led to saltwater entering the land. The agrarian economy of Sunderbans is mainly based on rice-based farming on fallow land throughout the year. Amphan left us with the skeleton of an economy. People who provide food for us will starve, their children wouldn’t read but rather be forced to work, and our domestic helping hand would be homeless.

The government cannot do all things alone, so at Sunderban MUKTI is helping our brothers and sisters for their survival through various campaigns by raising funds for those affected by Cyclone Amphan. One such campaign is Mukti’s “Food for Work”.

Mukti is motivating hundreds of local people to work in menace of food. It is encouraging the locals to rebuild the river embankments as soon as possible. At Rakkhoskhali Mauja under Brajaballavpur Gram Panchayat 715 workers are engaged in repairing the river bund. The core structure is made up of soil or river silt. Workers dig up soils from nearby lands and fill up the holes or the damaged portion by it. It’s a laborious and time consuming task.
