The state government claims that it has done its bit to help those affected by floods, but the ground reality is quite different.As per the official data, 81 lakh people were directly affected in the state, but more than 60 lakh couldn't find a place in any relief camps, because there were none.

Just a few days back people living in Naruar village lived regular lives. The intertwining night of June 13-14 changed everything when flood water gushed into their village and washed away everything that came in its way, including the cement and brick structures -- their homes -- and all their belongings.
