The Sui river is a branch of the Mahananda river and flows through the Kharasrota village.
“In the absence of an embankment, around five to six houses are eaten up by the river in Kharasrata village every year. Yet the state government has no taken steps to save the village. Leaders of the ruling party only pocketed money meant for the relief of the people here,” Mr Majumdar said..
