Life in Hills

"We enjoy our freedom here and the environment is good. However, if we look at it from an alternative perspective, from the social perspective, we feel quite bad. Because of unemployment, there are no facilities here that would allow us to see or learn new things so we feel bad. While commuting from one place to another we face a lot of problems. When someone falls ill, taking the patient till the road is a problem and then we have to wait for a vehicle. If there are no vehicles passing by, quite often the patient will just die. So at times I don't like life in the hills."
