Jorhat, Assam – More than a month after devastating floodwaters receded from parts of Assam, a grim reality persists for nine families in Jorhat’s Majiya Bheti village, who continue to live in a roadside relief camp, unable to return to their homes.
The families have been displaced since July 19, when the flood situation in the area severely deteriorated.
