Around thousand families of four villages � Jaraguri part-1, part-2, part-3 and no. 2 Jamdoha � had to take shelter on the main road of Jamdoha after losing home and hearth in the recent flood.
Bongaigaon Deputy Commissioner Dr MS Lakshmi Priya shared information with the team members about the damages caused by the flood in Jamdoha area. Flood victims had allegedly felt neglected as the team members did not interact with them to feel their plight and crises. The team members even refused to talk with the media during their visit today.
�We have no confidence on such Central teams which visit after every wave of flood and take no concrete steps to fix the flood problem permanently,� flood victims said.
