Neuhen- Neuhen Barracks: Published on 21 April 2007


I have visited some of the people who are living in Barracks in a location called Neuhen- Neuhen, which is the in foot of a hill. Its spread out in a vast area, may be around 20 acres with 32 Barracks. In each Barrack there will be around 20 housing units with a population of around 100 people. Official records show that there are 786 families, meaning around 4000 people live in these barracks.

When I looked around, its mind boggling to imagine the amount of work required to maintain those barracks. My project manager is explaining what sort of ordeal he has to go through in maintaining these barracks. Like these, there are a total of 13 barracks, where we are providing water and sanitation services.

There are numerous problems we encounter with the people here. A fiber septic tank of one cubic meter, couple of zinc coated tin sheets was missing from the camp. When their wooden floors were damaged, we gave them around 60 sheets of ply wood sheets. Later we found out that they sold them to a contractor with out repairing their houses.
