AS monsoon rains begin to envelop Uttarakhand, a stark annual reality unfolds for 115 families residing on 'Sri Lanka Tapu', a distinctive village nestled in Nainital district's Bindukhatta area. Despite ambitious state-wide pushes for enhanced connectivity and modern infrastructure development, this community annually transforms into an isolated island, completely cut off from the mainland for three grueling months once the heavy rains begin.
In preparation for this predictable isolation, residents are already in full swing, meticulously stockpiling essential food and supplies. "We have to ensure that we have enough to last us through the entire monsoon," said Raghuveer Singh of Sri Lanka Tapu.
