The victims are living without shelter and are severely constrained for food and other necessities

Hundreds of families displaced by floods that took place in June in northern Bihar, have been forced to take shelter on nearby roads.

Large tracts of land are still submerged by flood waters and there is little chance of water receding in the coming days.

The India Meteorological Department has forecast more rains this month due to which the flood situation is expected to worsen. All major rivers including the Bagmati, Koshi, Kamla Balan, Lakhadei and Bhuthi Balan are in spate due to heavy rains.

“We have been living on the roads along with others displaced by floods. Initially, when we were displaced in the third week of June, we had adequate food grains with us. But now, we only have dry flattened rice, salt and jaggery. Lack of clean drinking water, lack of boat and toilet have created problems for us,” Ramesh Sahni, a marginal farmer, said.

Sahni and others, from Sugauli block in East Champaran district, have erected temporary shelters with tarpaulin sheets. These are spread out in a stretch for nearly two kilometres.

Mohammed Alauddin said flood victims had not only erected their makeshift shelters on roads but also near railway tracks.

“There was no other option. We were full of fear during dark nights, without any light, expecting attacks by snakes, scorpions and wild dogs,” he said.
