The blast was a nightmare they had never imagined in Ludhiana. “I did see a body lying in the front row but never thought it was that of my younger brother Imtiaz Alam,” sobbed Mohammad Khaliq, who is now worried about his 14-year-old cousin Mehraj, still admitted at CMCH. “He’s suffered multiple fractures in his legs. Though the doctors have been able to avoid amputation as of now, God nows what lies in future.”
Mehraj had come to the city only two months ago and was still getting to learn the ropes of hosiery work. “I don’t know what I will tell his parents,” Khaliq says. But ask him if he plans to send him back and he shakes his head. “No, he is better off here.”
