Loi Relief Camp

It's been over six months since the Muzaffarnagar riots, one of the most violent clashes in recent times, left nearly 60 people dead and more than forty thousand homeless, but a majority of the accused are yet to be arrested.

Saddam's 55-year-old uncle was killed in the violence. He says he will never return to the village, where accused walk free. "I have not retuned there but I went to Budhana village close by. I saw them there."

Over 50 families, evicted by the Uttar Pradesh government from a relief camp in Muzaffarnagar, have been forced to live at a bus stand with no electricity, water or toilet.

It housed over 300 families at one point of time, but now has only 70-odd families left. The Loi relief camp in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar district has witnessed a dramatic exodus over the past 48 hours.

On Thursday, the Supreme Court ordered the Uttar Pradesh government, headed by Akhilesh Yadav, to urgently provide medical facilities and health care. The judges cited media reports which have alleged that 50 children have died in a month in relief camps.
