ग्राम- लालतापुर, ब्लॉक्-नवगढ़, जिला- चन्दौली, उत्तरप्रदेश से रीना दहेज़ पर आधारित एक गीत प्रस्तुत कर रही हैं :
दहेज़ में बेटी, जलाई है जाती
काश कोई बेटी, पराई न होती
बेटी ही घर की, लक्ष्मी कहाती
फिर भी इनका, अपमान होता
हालत गरीबी की, सब जानते
दानव- दहेज़ को, पहचानते
अपने ही घर को, सजाके है रखती
काश कोई बेटी, पराई न होती...

Reena Ramteke from Gariaband in Chhattisgarh says on 9th July I had send an interview on Swara with Kham Singh ji from village Dhiralaj where he had said that 42 of them have not got NREGA wages from one and half year. After that we got a call from Patrika newspaper and when the news was published officials came running and made payments to 14 people and said money has finished and they will be back within a week. But a month has now passed and they are not back yet. For more Reena ji can be reached at 07828625176
