Ferozepur: Why Punjab’s Island Village Kaluwala Is Refusing To Vote This Election?

Lok Sabha Election 2024: Surrounded by waters of Sutlej river on three sides and Indo-Pak border fence on the fourth, the small village Kaluwala comprised of around 300 people, in Ferozepur district of Punjab. Due to floods the village was completely cut-off from the outside world and the villagers were forced to spend more than a month on the rooftop of the village’s government primary school, the only building which survived. After surviving the floods, largely with their own grit and determination, the villagers had even demanded that their village should be merged with neighboring Pakistan, as no government from the Indian side of Punjab considered them humans. As Punjab votes for 2024 Lok Sabha elections on June 1 in the last phase, the residents here say they might not even vote this time.
