Lucky Madhua, his wife and daughter brave strong currents of floodwaters to reach a nearby relief camp in Khungkhrajhora village 15 km away from the India-Bhutan border in Assam's Chirang district, about 250 km away from Guwahati. For 44-year-old Lucky, it seems an annual affair. Lucky's house is half submerged in floodwater that breached his village after heavy rains in the area and neighbouring Bhutan. Every monsoon, floodwaters from the Himalayan neighbour rushes down hills to the Chirang and Kokrajhar - two prominent districts under the Bodoland Territorial Council.
