FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
But Kawauchi Mayor Yuko Endo has announced bold plans to restore life back to
a place sapped, not only by destruction but also by a deep-rooted fear of
nuclear radiation that lingers in people’s minds.
Endo said he wanted to start bringing all evacuees home inext month, after the
village office and public facilities, including elementary and junior high
schools reopen on April 1.
But it’s a hard-sell, especially when no population means no jobs.
“There are no jobs anymore,” says Mr Hikari, one of the few who
decided to stay put with his wife.
“Unless people can find jobs again here, it will be difficult to come
back.”
Mr Hikari says that many villagers relied on farming to make a living, “so
they need the clean rice fields to start with.”
There are other challenges waiting for those who do decide to return home.
Heavy snow and a shortage of workers have delayed plans to complete
decontamination work on all 950 houses.
The local government has since changed the plan to prioritise the households
with children.
But Mr Hikari remains resolute, Kawauchi is no place for youngsters.
“Nobody wants to return to Kawauchi, nobody except the old or sick,”
he says.
