Jalpaiguri Families Celebrate Dashain After Safe Relocation
Imagine a group of families who used to live by a river that flooded every year, making them scared and uneasy.
They asked for help and were moved to a safer place called Teesta Pally.
This new home is away from the river's floods.
Now, for the first time in many years, they can happily celebrate their important Dashain festival without worrying about floods.
They are also getting help with new houses and important things like electricity and water.
Even though they are still waiting for some money, they are happy to be safe.
