IAF slammed for damage to crucial aerostat radar on border
Manaram, 45, a resident of Akla village in Nagaur district, some 250 km from Jaipur, and his brother’s grandson Chenaram, 15, are kept tied to two separate beds."We started to keep Manaram in chains after he developed some mental illness about 15 years ago and became violent and hysteric. He started throwing stones at neighbours. It became the cause of frequent quarrels with other villagers, so we were compelled to keep him tied," his brother Khiyaram told IANS over phone.He said he could not afford proper treatment for his brother. "I am a labourer and hardly earn Rs.100 a day," he added.The family's troubles were compounded when Khiyaram’s son Chenaram too started showing the same symptoms when he was around10years old.When both of them become violent, the family members give them sleeping pills to calm them down.Khiyaram said efforts to gethelp from authorities have proved futile."I have taken both of them to senior officials in the administration and sought help. The officials assured me of including us in the below poverty line (BPL) category and providinghelp under various government schemes, but nothing has happened so far," he said.In the absence of proper treatment, the family has taken the duo to various quacks and witch doctors.“But this too has not helped,” Khiyaram added.
