Despite Funds, Assam's Flood Fight Is Difficult | Read

Dimbeshwar Das of Koilajhari village in Assam's flood-ravaged Morigaon district, about 150 km away from Guwahati, has been living on the village road for more than a month after the second wave of floods displaced him. The second flood wave isn't allowing the 47-year-old to return home, which may have been destroyed. "I have been living this way for a month, after the first wave of floods. When the water dried out, I tried going back, but the second wave arrived and I am back here, living on the roads," Dimbeshwar Das said.
