The Tears Of Musi River

Hyderabad: The impending demolitions along the Musi River present a precarious future for families who have called this area home for decades. As the state government pushes forward with its demolition plans, residents grapple with the harsh reality of potential homelessness and economic instability. Although the government has offered 2BHK housing alternatives, many families remain reluctant to accept, fearing they will lose both their livelihoods and the sense of community that has sustained them for years.

The emotional toll is palpable. One resident, who purchased her home two decades ago, is devastated by the news that her property lies within the riverbed. Her husband’s health has deteriorated due to the stress, forcing her to rush back from Odisha using borrowed funds. “This house has been our refuge, especially after my husband’s heart troubles,” she lamented, highlighting the struggles of transitioning into government housing amid health concerns.

While some have accepted the 2BHK offers, many tenants express deep concerns about rising rent and the detrimental impact on their children’s education. A long-time tenant voiced her worries: “We’ve built our lives here, and the cost of moving elsewhere would disrupt everything.” The looming threat of demolition has resulted in sleepless nights for countless residents, who recently convened at a local school to voice their concerns and strategise their next steps. The sentiments echoed by a long-time resident reflect the anguish felt by many: “I was born here, and now my grandchildren call this place home. The government must consider the community’s needs.” As families stand at the brink of uncertainty, they continue to fight for their right to a stable and supportive environment.
