The life of housemaids in our country is miserable. Their plight becomes more horrible if they are single women. Baidi Bagh of Ganjam Colony, Sunabeda, is a burning example of such suffering. Baidi is unmarried, aged about 50. She used to work as housemaid in HAL Township and is now leading a distressed life.
Due to a paralytic attack, she is unable to stand or walk. Her elder sister is kind enough to have given her shelter in her verandah. When the matter was brought to the knowledge of Red Cross activists Shaheda Parween and Shaik Ibrahim, they met Baidi and her sister and enquired about their wellbeing and handed over two packets of large-size "Huggies" and some food stuffs to Baidi. As they came to know that Baidi is not getting any Government benefits because she does not have an Aadhaar card or a voter ID or a ration card, they have requested the Sunabeda Municipality authorities to look into the matter and help the distressed woman.
