What song shall I sing today?
It’s nigh onto 3 years after the Tsunami. Yet some people continue to live in temporary settlements, in deplorable conditions, with no proper water supply and toilet facilities.
What song shall I sing today? journeys through the process of rebuilding of lives in the various phases of emergency relief to temporary shelters,and then on to permanent houses. It highlights the plight of those in temporary shelters hoping to get permanent houses; and of those in permanent settlements, awaiting the arrival of basic amenities - especially the hurdles placed by mindless application of regulatory provisions of the CRZ and the many other practical problems faced, that still keep some in temporary shelters.
The irony is that sanitation conditions in some permanent settlements are far worse than what obtains in the temporary shelters.
