MORE than a month after the second wave of floods hit Assam on June 24, life is yet to return to normal gear in the state. Of the more than 1.5 crore people whose houses were wholly or partially submerged in the flood waters of the Brahmaputra and its numerous tributaries, about 15 lakh are yet to return home — largely because there are no houses to return to.
