Ashok Paswas was in Punjab, when he got the shocking news of flood from his Bother- in – law, Prabhu Paswan. ‘I called Ashok to tell him that his wife and children are safe and no whereabouts of his sisters and brother and their families’ says Prabhu. When Ashok reached Bihar he wanted to rush to Chattapur village in Supaul district, where his sisters lived. I walked and swam to reach a place few kilometres away from Chatapur only to see that Kosi has taken its new course over Chattapur and many other villages, leaving no sign of life; my sisters and brother also had four children each like me, I don’t know what happened to them?’ mourns Ashok. Ashok Paswan with his family lives in CASA relief camp in Bhelwa, just hoping that his sisters and bother with their family is not dead in the floods. Helping displaced people find their relatives and villagers would be one of the most challenging post-flood work that awaits government and other organisations. Since there is no database of people in various relief camps available, it is more difficult to trace the missing families and individuals. CASA has prepared detailed list of members in each of its relief camps. CASA has asked Govt to facilitate a centralised database, where details of people from all the relief camps can be accessed to locate the missing people. This would also tell the world why CASA declared ‘Bihar flood’ as worse than Tsunami disaster. In Tsunami majority of the dead bodies came to shore for the world to see the intensity of the disaster; whereas here in Bihar, the furious Kosi took people and send them all to Bay of Bengal via Ganges! The world is yet to accept the intensity of the catastrophe!!!
