Inset, the erosion has already destroyed many 75 homesteads, 150 bighas of arable land and four fruit orchards. While many locals have moved themselves and their belongings to safety, it was much too late for the others to save their assets. The photo was taken yesterday afternoon. PHOTO: S DILIP ROY
