Residents of Kabgir Nagar, Al Jubail Colony, Hashamabad fear the worst every time it rains
For 100-year-old Ayesha Bi, it was the experience of a lifetime being pulled out of her house with a rope tied to her waist as flood waters raced through the locality of Al Jubail Colony.
The frail old lady was rescued after a neighbour broke the asbestos ceiling of her house. For her son Muhammad Khaja, the saviour was a cellphone which let him contact his neighbour Babur Khan. “Babur swam in pitch darkness with a rope and cracked open the ceiling to pull us out at 2 a.m. Then we sat on the ceiling for 12 hours,” recalls Mr. Khaja about the intervening night of October 13 and 14 when water from the Palle Cheruvu mixed with sewage flooded his one-room tenement built right beside the nala.
