The locals here are facing a lot of difficulties and the government is also not helping much, a local said while speaking to ANI on Friday.
"We are facing trouble and the government is not providing any help. My house got damaged and now we are forced to stay outside. This happened in 2007 and again happened this year. People have to commute through knee-to-waist deep water," said Chandan Maity, a local.
