Mr. Gopinath Kumar, Mr. Anando Khuro and
Mr. Pradeep Malik were
interviewed verbally as to how the flood has affected them in
their village in Hathkhola? Their respond was that they were
unaware of the swelling water coming towards their houses. It
destroyed the entire village of 64 families. The incident
happened on the 11th June 2008, morning at 6:00,
which they can never forget.

The river Dikrong suddenly changes its course and due to which
this unforeseen incident had happened. One family was
washed away by this
flood. After three
days, their bodies were found floating on the flood water.
The
rest of the villagers could somehow find a way to save
themselves but they are homeless, living near the railway tracks
and beside the roads. Mr. Gopinath and his father once had a
land, house and a future but now they simply cannot express what
they would do?? They
simply go back and gaze at their past glory, the home they once
lived in, now they only can think of resettling elsewhere, but
the question is where and how to begin? |
