Share on For the last one month, our team has been camping at the Tapovan power plant disaster site in Uttarakhand. The team met hundreds of victims and the families of those missing/dead in the last couple of weeks. Asha Negi (name changed for privacy) is one of them. When we met her three weeks ago, she was numb, sitting expressionless at the corner of the temporary relief camp in Tapovan. It seemed her body had no energy left, even to cry. She was in a state of complete shock and despair. Our team member sat beside her for more than an hour, struggling to find the right words, before she finally spoke. When we asked Asha how she was, she turned her eyes towards us, and seemed to be noticing us for the first time in the last few hours.
