Bihar Flood Victims Speak: Hunger, Suffering & Betrayal

In this heartbreaking ground report from Bihar, journalist Rohit Jha of Witty Chokha reaches a flood-affected village where entire families have been displaced. Their homes are underwater, and they now live in plastic-covered makeshift huts near New Runi Saidpur Railway Station.

Through emotional conversations with villagers like Gabuda Das, Lal Babu Das, and Chunnu Malik, we witness the struggle for food, shelter, and survival. Despite government promises of PM Awas Yojana, flood relief, toilets, and ration support, the villagers allege that no real help ever reaches them.

Their frustration has now turned into political anger many say they will not vote in the next election because leaders come only for votes, not for help. With children starving, diseases spreading, and no rescue in sight, this report exposes systemic negligence and inequality. This is not just a natural disaster it’s a human crisis demanding urgent attention.
