The floods in parts of Madhya Pradesh has cost 17 lives, around 4,500 people have been rescued.
It has not rained in Satna for the last 48 hours and the floodwater has receded in most parts of the district. But the worries of the people are far from over.
In Sohaval village, around 500 km from state capital Bhopal, 34-year-old Sukhendra Kewat and his family escaped death just 3 days ago.
Their hut collapsed on early on Saturday morning. Sukhendra, his wife Butol and their three children were sleeping and they just managed to get out.
The family is now homeless and Sukhendra, a daily wage earner, is not going to work.
"As the house started to collapse, we all ran out. My eldest son got injured. We are living with a neighbor. I'm not going out to work. I have to be with my family because of flood alert," he said.
Around 25 km away in Sariyatola village, the villagers are no better off.
Nearly 3 dozen families are living in the open as their houses have collapsed. More than 150 families are struggling to get two square meals a day. They claim they have received no help from the state government.
Those living along the Tamas river are now worried as the met department has predicted heavy rainfall in next 72 hours, which may lead to a third flood this monsoon.
Ram Pratap Jaiswal, a villager, said: "Here, 40 to 50 houses have collapsed. We got no help from administration. The tehsildar came and told us that we have to be alert as there may be floods again. But they did not offer us any help or tell us about any relief camp being set up nearby."
Balbir Raman the local magistrate, said: "We are doing a survey of the damage, but because of the flood alert, work is happening on a slow pace. We have called in the National Disaster Relief Force and we have done our assessment to shift the people."
