Sundarbans: Life After Cyclone Yaas
As another cyclone slammed the Sundarban islands in West Bengal, there was devastation all around. This time a lot of lives were saved owing to timely evacuations but what is lost is livelihood and homes. Some 134 embankments that protect the region were breached during Cyclone Yaas, destroying villages. IBNS photographer Avishek Mitra captures glimpses of life and rebuilding amid the devastation.
