Baljit Kaur of Gatta Mundi Kasu village in Lohian returned home with her family two days ago after the floodwater had receded. She and her family cleaned up the muck that had accumulated in the house since July 10 and made the kitchen workable again.

She woke up in the wee hours today to see floodwater all around her bed again. “It was such a horrific sight that I cannot explain. We picked up essential items and headed towards the relief camp where we had spent 11 days earlier. We requisitioned a truck, loaded our bikes and animals on that and left our home once again,” she said.
