Introduction:
TOPOGRAPHY OF BARASIROHI :-
The village Barasirohi has a large number of ponds as can be seen in fig. 1, the ponds are there for several years. The place as such is very congested, the region marked' A I in the figure is approximately 200m2 and about 100 families are living there.
Close to Barasirohi, there is Tikra and Masoodabad, both famous for brick industry. Maximum people living here are laborers in these industries, rest are either farmers or own a shop. In the whole area there are only three clinics and that too not managed by qualified doctors but by some pranks. There are few hand pumps and some of these are very near to the ponds, so access to clean drinking water is also not guaranteed.
WHAT IS BEEN DONE TO IMPROVE THE CONDITION?
Nothing concrete is been done by the government to improve the living condition of the people in Barasirohi, except building of a hospital, still the future of this place is not so bleak, as slowly but steadily these ponds are getting reduced in size. This is not due to any conscious step by anyone but because of the growing population and the very cheap cost of the land submerged in these ponds. So people from lower middle and middle class buy these portion of pond fill it up with mud and build there houses or shops thereby reducing the ponds and indirectly improving the condition, but for all the ponds to be extinct will take some time as the natives living there are not so inclined to fill all these ponds. Not because these ponds serve a very useful purpose for them but most families keep cattle and they use these ponds to wash their cattle and disposing of their waste and if these ponds are filled they will have to go a large distance away for doing the same.
