why are manohara settlements underwater?
The Manohara settlements are underwater primarily due to flooding. Recent floods have severely affected these areas, trapping many residents because of delayed evacuation alerts and unclear readiness at the local level. The government, led by Prime Minister Shah, has announced plans to relocate flood-affected settlements like these to safer areas, with full support from both the government and donors. This move aims to prevent future risks by moving people out of vulnerable floodplains.
