Bihar’s Women Still Cook with Mud & Wood, Not LPG | Witty Chokha

In this heartbreaking ground report from rural Bihar, Witty Chokha reporter Rohit Jha exposes the gritty reality of poverty, government neglect, and broken promises.
Despite the Ujjwala Yojana’s claim of providing LPG cylinders to every household, women still rely on mud and wood from streams to cook daily meals.

Through emotional conversations, villagers reveal how they survive without jobs, farmland, or state aid, their lives dictated by the rain and floods that destroy their homes every year.
While politicians make promises during elections, no relief or compensation ever reaches the ground.

This report captures the invisible struggle of Bihar’s poor women inhaling smoke instead of safety, children growing amid hunger, and families abandoned by governance.
It’s a powerful portrait of India’s forgotten citizens, showing the human cost of failed welfare schemes and the silence that follows political applause.
