Family Watches Home Destroyed by Beas River's Shifting Course
Imagine a river that has changed its path.
This river, called the Beas, is now eating away at homes in a village called Rampura Gauhra.
One family, the Singhs, are watching their three-year-old house slowly disappear.
The river's new path has already destroyed several homes, and others are now unsafe.
The Singhs are trying to save anything they can, like doors and windows, using tractors and boats.
The local government is busy dealing with crop damage, but the river's path continues to cause trouble for families.
The Beas River's altered course is causing damage in Rampura Gauhra.
Milkha Singh's house is being consumed by the river.
The family of twelve is salvaging belongings.
Nearly 10 houses have been uprooted.
Five other houses have developed deep cracks.
