Manmade Flood of Bengal The photo series has been snapped in Howrah district of West Bengal, India where almost every year the marginal population have to face the ire of an artificial flood that could be prevented with proper planning and able bureaucracy. These bouts of flood are created by poor drainage system and uniformed release of dam water from neighboring states of West Bengal - India. The plight of people knows no bound as they have to relocate with their belongings during this period. Approximate number of sufferers is estimated to be 22 lakhs during this disaster. While covering the areas I have documented the real-life struggle of the local people & how they are fighting for survival with their last belongings.
