As a consequence of steady heavy rains, water had crammed throughout us. Inside a number of hours, the road in entrance of the home was submerged in water. My husband was not at residence. There was water all over the place. I’ve spent many nights with out sleep with each the youngsters. For the final 10 days, we had been surrounded by water from all sides however nobody cared whether or not we had been alive or useless.”

37-year-old Ronju Begum expresses her ache and anger on this manner.

Ronju Begum lives in Madoikata, a distant village within the north-eastern state of Assam, India, the place the flood has induced large destruction.

As quickly as we enter Madoikata village, about 11 kilometers from the Tamulpur district headquarters, the water flowing on the damaged roads, mud amassed at many locations, electrical poles half submerged in water at many locations begin telling the devastation of the flood.

The villagers say that that is the primary wave of flood however such floods must be confronted many instances sooner or later.
