I have to inform you that foreign authorities didn't have anything to do with temporary abandonment of this village but it was river that was threatening to flood and eventually did. When river level will normalise again, people will move back to their homes. Also standards what a village is can differ from place to place. There are people all around the world who don't live in brick houses, but they still call it homes
