Budhan Stories S2E6: We belong here
Episode 6 of Season 2 - We belong here is the episode on the ghetto that is situated in front of Gandhi Ashram in Ahmedabad. This ghetto was about to be demolished by the civic authority which was part of Gandhi Ashram re-development program but residents of this ghetto were not allotted any alternative housing facility. This place does not have electricity and suffer a lot. In the absence of education, they cannot get jobs and that is the reason that they have to do all sort of labour work in surrounding area. These people also faced lots of hardship during Corona because they were not allowed to go for work.
