Assam: Villagers of Jorhat express their plight due to regular floods

Every year, villages in Assam battle with flood and its repercussions, hundreds of people are forced to leave their house and stay on roads. Six villages, having around 700-800 families, in Jorhat get badly affected due to regular floods. The rise in the water level of the Brahmaputra river leads to this situation. A larger section of these families is dependent on agriculture.
