HIV positive couple banished from village
A couple in the Khannadihi village in east Midnapore has been facing social ostracisation after testing positive for HIV. Arun Bari and his wife Supriya have been asked to leave their village, and have been banned from his family's paddy fields. Arun now works as a daily wager to make ends meet. "The panchayat discussed the issue and the Pradhan asked us to leave the village," Arun said.
