“Bikash has been visually impaired since his childhood. He cannot express and walk properly. On 12th he sleeping at home. Unable to get out, he was buried underneath the house rubble. We all were out in the fields. We came running back home and found that he is within the rubbles. X-ray showed his bone was broken, futyo/ cracked. He also had wounds all over his hands.
