Beautifully narrated through images “the Ugly Truth”.
Thanks Radha. it is indeed ugly. the challenge is to get the government to see its own ugliness. Please do keep coming back – will follow narratives through time at Peepli.
Great pictures Arati. I belong to Malda which has been heavily affected by erosion, hence I know about the grave issue. But amazing pictures 🙂
Very nice… keep it up…
