Survivors of the Irsalwadi landslide, a week after the natural disaster, are gradually coming to terms with their loss and are now concerned about their future. Their houses, savings, and farms are destroyed and buried under the rubble of the landslide, leaving them with no source of livelihood. As a result, many of them are seeking jobs to start a new life from scratch.
City-based psychiatrists emphasise the toll the disaster has taken on the survivors, losing not only their homes and livelihood but also enduring the ongoing rains in makeshift arrangements.
