Assam: Flood situation remains grim in Nagaon district

PUBLISHED:

Guwahati: The flood situation in Assam’s Nagaon district is still grim.

The flood waters of the Kopili River have inundated many villages and 1432.85 hectares of cropland in the Kampur area of Nagaon district.

According to the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA), the Kopili river is flowing above the danger level mark at Kampur.

“The flood waters have submerged this Garukhunda road and also damaged some parts of this road.

Last year, two devastating floods affected this area. Around 50 villages have been affected in this year’s flood. People are facing lots of problems. We appeal to the government to help the people,” a local resident said.

Following incessant rainfall in the past couple of days, the administration of Assam’s Dima Hasao district has made all flood preparedness to deal with any kind of situation, the officials said on Monday.
