Mirchantola is one the 25 villages in Amour Vidhan Sabha constituency in north Bihar that has been braving floods and massive land erosion over the past few years. This year, in Mirchantola alone, 100 families have been uprooted.

Kishanganj: It’s a race against time for 25-year-old Jahane Alam to save his mud house from the ravaging Mahananda river that has already swept away several dwellings of Mirchantola village. Alam’s house, which was once in the middle of the village, is precariously dangling from the edge of the river bank. As the gushing waters swallow chunks of the river bank, a desperate Alam, with the help of other villagers, dismantled the tin shed and bamboo walls.

“I have asked a fellow villager to make a temporary arrangement where I can keep my belongings. After that I will think of where life takes me,” said Alam, who was working at a construction site in Punjab until the pandemic-triggered lockdown came into effect. A few metres away from his house, the local Jama Masjid could not survive the ferocity of the Mahananda.

Mirchantola is one the 25 villages in Amour Vidhan Sabha constituency in north Bihar that has been braving floods and massive land erosion over the past few years. This year, in Mirchantola alone, 100 families have been uprooted. Many of them ended up at temporary shelters and relief camps. One such camp has been organised at the local school. “We have taken shelter in this school. Those who own land in upper areas have set up temporary homes in their own land. We don’t own any land. We have not got any help either,” says Dev Lal, a daily wager.
