The opinion and view of the people during Flood Water:
Now lets see what is the opinion and view of the people out there who are facing such bad situation and has faced so many loss:
A flood follows unseasonal rain so frequently for Bhagwan Devi, 38, Shivakumar, 40, and their four children that they are running out of time to pick themselves up and start over.
Earlier this month, water levels unexpectedly surged, forcing Devi and Shivakumar to leave their hut on the Yamuna River’s banks in Delhi.
Devi pointed to her chin and stated, “This is how deep the water was.”
The family has sought safety on the roadside kerb, 100 metres (328 feet) from their now-flooded cottage, along with thousands of others.
Their tale is comparable to the experiences of the millions of people living in South Asia who are most affected by climate change. The World Bank estimates that by 2050, climate change may compel 216 million people to leave
their home nations. 40.5 million people are anticipated to be relocated in South Asia alone.
Harjeet Singh, head of global political strategy at the Climate Action Network International, stated that the heavy rains in India’s Himalayan states are merely the most recent in a string of South Asian disasters that have been made worse by climate change.
“Earlier, Pakistan had unprecedented-of flooding that was quite devastating . We are dealing with cyclones, inhospitable temperatures, melting glaciers in Bangladesh and India, rising seas in Bangladesh and India, and melting glaciers in Nepal and Pakistan. Millions of people are being compelled by climate change to leave their homes in search of safety and better ways to support their families, he continued.
Being uprooted by floods has become a way of life for Devi and other residents of Yamuna Khadar, which is located on the Yamuna River’s floodplain. Extreme rainfall in upstream states led to swollen rivers and the opening of numerous dams that were unable to contain the extra water, which led to the most recent displacement.
Devi and Shivakumar are natives of the Budayun region in the Uttar Pradesh state of northern India, which is reachable from Delhi by car in about five hours. Their homestead in Budayun, which was 1.24
miles (2 kilometres) from the Ganges River, frequently flooded as well. They made the decision to leave their farm due to unseasonal harsh weather and seek better living conditions in Delhi about 15 years ago.
