Every year, as many as 100,000 villagers in Barabanki relocate to temporary shelters when the Ghaghara river inundates their villages and destroys their crops. These rural residents are trapped between the embankments of the river built for flood control. Villages like Tepra are washed away and for the past three years now, people are living on an embankment awaiting compensation and rehabilitation. Will the UP election results change their fate? A ground report.

The Ghaghra which is the largest tributary of the Ganga river causes devastating floods in the terai regions of Uttar Pradesh. Not only are the farmlands inundated, but the floods also result in loss of habitation for thousands of rural residents. The worst affected are those who live on the lands between the river and the embankment. Gaon Connection takes stock of their struggle.

A ground report.
