The flood waters of the Pahumara River had breached a large portion of the embankment of Medhikuchi village and damaged at least seven houses.

A resident of Assam said, "I lost everything in this devastating flood. Now I have nothing. I am a daily wage labourer and had built my house with great hard work, but everything is destroyed. If the government will help me then, I can build a new home, if not then I can't. I don't know what I will do."    

Vikash Patgiri, another affected villager said that, if the government will help us then we can live, otherwise it will be very difficult for us to live.   

"The flood destroyed everything. I am a daily wage labourer and earn Rs 400 daily. Now what I will do? I am homeless. Along with my family, we are now living on the road. The government has given us some food, and relief materials and some villagers are also helping us. I have lost everything," said another resident.
