Sea Level Rise in India
Dukharam Singh, 60 year old, lives in Sagar island and is one of the many people affected by sea level rise: "Over the past twenty years, I have lost my house about seven to eight times. Every time we need to find new land and houses for us. There are many people who have to do the same. After Aila, what should we do? We lost our houses again and need to rebuild them. The government gives us some puffed rice and a tent. In this way we are living by the roadside".
