Photojournale : Photo documentary and photo journal stories from around the world - Inundated - Flood in Udaynarayanpur block, Howrah District | West Bengal India http://bladepicturecompany.com/categories.php?cat_id=227
The state government has declared only one block of Howrah district-Udaynarayanpur as flood-hit zone on 14th August. Damodar River had breached the mud embankments at approximately five places near the Bakpota bridge and resulted in large scale inundation of Jangalpara, Tokapur and Korarpara areas. Approximately 15 people died in the flood in Udaynarayanpur alone, mostly from snake bites.

Local authorities succoured with a half packet of puffed rice for five heads. Hospital without doctors, broken roads, deficiency of drinking water, and no communication added to the misery. It seems that no panaceas can surmount this stalemate scenario. This photo-series is an attempt to give an insight into the flood victims' daily life and show how they still fight on and cultivate hope at a time when water snatches almost everything.
