Kosi swallowed our 4 year old Kavita PDF Print E-mail
Pramod Ram (30) and Poonam Devi (26) with their children Subhash Ram (5) and Suman Ram (2.5) had to painfully say goodbye to their loving daughter Kavita (4), who was gulped by the thirsty Kosi that evening when the family was preparing to flee to a safer place.

In Mojma village in Jeerva Madheli panchayat in Sankarpur block in Madhepura, when the floods hit their home, Pramod and Poonam tried to locate all the valuables in their home before they escape to rescue their life. When they were busy preparing for a run off, in a fraction of second, Kosy swallowed the little Kavita. ‘She was too small to resist the hastening river’ laments Pramod.
 
Poonam Devi, while struggling to reconcile with the reality of her loving daughters death, is struggling hard to help Subhash reconcile with water. She says that ‘Subhash, who witnessed the death of his sister, is so afraid of water that he doesn’t want to see water or return home’.
 
Pramod – Poonam family lives in CASA’s relief camp in Bhelwa. CASA staff and volunteers help families with such painful experience, reconcile with life to begin their life a new.
 
Kavita’s parents are here to mourn and tell the awful end of their daughter to the world; Kosi cruelly carried away many families were none is left to mourn the death or report to the world.
