In Ahio, a village in the Malda district of West Bengal, India, residents are expressing their frustrations about the lack of development as they approach the upcoming West Bengal Assembly elections. The local primary health center, which served approximately 18,000 people, has been closed for over 15 years, forcing villagers to travel to Bulbulchandi hospital for medical assistance. Many locals, including Debi Halder and Utpal Saha, have voiced their concerns regarding the inadequate health infrastructure and the need for basic amenities. Despite the area's historical context as a settlement for Hindu refugees during the Partition and the Bangladesh War, the community feels neglected. While some residents acknowledge that infiltration occurs in the broader Habibpur area, they report that it is not a significant issue in Ahio, thanks to vigilant monitoring by the Border Security Force (BSF). As the elections approach, villagers are hopeful for political attention to their plight, particularly regarding health services and infrastructure improvements.
