This has severely affected the lives of people and animals in the villages along the banks of the river.
The flood level has surpassed the mighty floods of 2005, whereby villages have been evacuated and emptied for the safety of the people. These families are now relocated to various government schools, public halls and at various communal places. Apart from their house structure, they have lost all their belongings and savings. A majority of these families rely on agriculture as their primary source of income, and the floods have washed out their farms and animals, thereby affecting them for several months to come. Many villages have been completely cut off / isolated from the district and when the flood does eventually subside they will return to their dilapidated houses.
