In the last three months, I have stood by the banks of three mighty rivers — the Mahanadi in Odisha, the Ganges in Bihar, and the Egyptian Nile. The year 2023 will forever be the year of rivers for me.

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.

Bihar's Kosi river is known to change its course of flow thereby submering new lands. Who does this submerged land belong – the government or the local villagers who farmed it before it got submerged by the river? A survey to address land titles in the state has run into rough weather as villagers along the Kosi, which brings devastating floods, fear the government will take over their farmlands.

मोदी सरकार के 5 साल पूरे होने को हैं लेकिन न केवल अर्थव्यवस्था में कोई क्रांतिकारी बदलाव नहीं दिखा बल्कि सरकार ने विकास और इन्फ्रास्ट्रक्चर के नाम पर ऐसे कदम उठाये हैं जो पर्यावरण के खिलाफ जंग का ऐलान लगते हैं
