text:

In the khel which was not burnt down the houses all stand closely together on a steep slope. We had a friendly reception and were served madhu in the houses of the two gaonburas. The burnt out khel still gives a devastated impression. The small, hastily set up houses, stand in between charcoaled posts (210) and some places are totally empty
