What started off as a tragedy for Ganeshram Sahobia, when his shack collapsed, would soon change his life forever, as he is about to realise his dreams of acquiring a new home for his family.
On Christmas morning, about 2 o’clock, Sahobia, 50, received a call that heavy winds had knocked down his humble home, located on the government reserve at Anna Catherina, West Coast Demerara (WCD).
His story was published in Stabroek News’ online edition two days later. In the article, he pleaded with the authorities to grant him the house lot that he had applied for. That same morning, as he was leaving for work, he received another phone call.
