Shankar Lal ji from Lalitpur in Bundelkhand area of Uttar Pradesh is narrating the situation of villages in the monsoon months. He says in these villages nearby 60 years after independence there are no roads and people can not take their sick to hospital. The ponds are filled with dirty monsoon water and people are forced to drink it. For these reasons many children do not go to school and work with their parents in cities. The villages are suffering though govt is spending money like water in many developmental schemes. For more Shankar Ji can be reached at 09838358532
