Brahmaputra River Flooding

The water level of the Brahmaputra River has been rising following incessant rainfall in many parts of Assam and other neighbouring states in the past couple of days.

Six rivers in Assam and Manipur, including Brahmaputra, and Barak, are experiencing severe flooding, putting numerous districts in the region at risk, the Central Water Commission has said.

Assam's flood situation remained grim with over four lakh people affected and one fresh fatality reported as the water level in River Brahmaputra maintained a rising trend in several places on Thursday, according to an official bulletin.

According to the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA), 114 villages under 4 revenue circlesGogamukh, Dhemaji, Sissiborgaon, and Jonaihave been affected by the deluge.

A police station was seen sinking into a river in one of the many scenes of devastation in Assam caused by the worst floods in years. A big chunk of the two-storey building submerged after the erosion of Brahmaputra river banks.

The flood situation in Assam continued to remain grim with rising water levels of the Brahmaputra and Barak rivers inundating fresh areas in the state and impacting over 55 lakh people across 32 districts, officials said on Wednesday.

The flood situation in Assam and Meghalaya has deteriorated with rising water levels in major rivers and 31 people losing their lives, amid incessant rain triggering landslides in many places across the two states.

The flood situation in Assam continued to improve as the total affected population halved over the last 24 hours, and the number of districts reeling under the deluge went down by one, a government bulletin said today.

Assam's flood situation improved considerably on Monday with the water level having gone down in river Brahmaputra and its major tributaries, even as one more fatality was reported from Morigaon district.

The Brahmaputra river has turned 51-year-old Prafulla Saharia into a refugee. In 2007, it eroded his village Malhu, his home and 70 bighas of farm land. Since then, erosion forced him to move home thrice. The daily wage labourer now fears village Lengeribori, where is now staying, will be gobbled up by the swollen Brahmaputra any day.

Gautam Das and family are camping on this Brahmaputra river embankment for a week, ever since their village at Palashbari got flooded. The waters have receded now. But this 45-year-old wage labourer laments that the government relief has come late to his village that is just 30 km away from capital Guwahati.

Rains flood this area every year. This year, floods first came in June but the water receded, and then came this week's deluge. Volumes of water from the swelling Bramhaputra is flowing into the Beki on whose floodplains rests Barpeta's Kalgachia village, leading to unprecedented inundation. The only things visible other than water are submerged hu...
