Govt completely apathetic, rue people forced to leave from low-lying areas

FORCED to leave their homes to escape the flooding caused by the swollen Yamuna river, there is anger among those staying in relief camps set up by the Delhi government.

While some criticised the government for failing to learn a lesson despite the Yamuna inundating people’s homes every year, others claimed no rescue teams showed up to evacuate them.

“We lost our home. We are left with nothing. We have lost all our valuables and belongings. There was no one to evacuate us. We came here on our own,” claimed Rubi Devi, who is staying in a relief camp in east Delhi’s Mayur Vihar, on Wednesday.
