Families in the Himalayan town of Joshimath, which is sinking, say they yearn to go back to their homes.
BBC Hindi, Uttarakhand
There were rumours that a nearby hotel had caved in. But when her husband stepped out to check, the building stood intact.It was their house that had suffered damages though - its walls and veranda had developed gaping cracks. The family of five now lives in a temporary shelter - a crammed one-room accommodation - provided by the local government.
Experts say the town faces the danger of sinking, which they attribute to unplanned development and a lack of proper drainage system.Over the last few weeks, disaster response teams have evacuated hundreds of residents and moved them to safer locations. It's not clear how long these families would have to stay in the new lodgings. Authorities say their priority for now is to save lives.
