Bagairna family on the brink as ancestral home faces collapse

Shimla, Sep 5 (UNI) Bagairna village in Sirmaur district, bordering the Nahaul Panchayat of the Kasupanti constituency, is witnessing the silent suffering of a family whose lifelong asset is slipping away before their eyes.
Heavy rains have loosened the soil, and what once stood as a symbol of hard-earned stability is now threatened by deep cracks and sinking ground.
Naresh Kumar, the head of the affected family, has been forced to abandon his house after the land around it began to subside. Nearly 100 meters of land has started sinking, leaving gaping cracks, one nearly a foot wide, right at the entrance to his home.
