Assam floods

"Yes, you need roti, kapda and makaan. But, what will a girl do if she is continuously bleeding under her skirt? It's a social issue that needs immediate solution from state governments," says the woman behind the 'Dignity in Flood' petition. #MenstrualHygieneDay #MenstruationMatters

"What we are doing right now may endure for few years only, but as I strongly believe, we should not depend on the government all the time. All we need is a strong willpower and determination."

Assam is facing floods and the Indian Railways has stepped in to help people, providing shelter and some relief.

The villagers will be trained to handle the animals stranded out of the park and will be given emergency numbers to call. Villagers are also being trained in identifying and handling poisonous snakes.
