Assam Plans Embankment Construction Near Dikhow River After Floods
Assam's Water Resources Minister Susanta Borgohain announced plans to construct an embankment near the Dikhow river to prevent future flooding. Although the project was approved last year, local residents initially resisted land acquisition, believing flooding was not a concern. Following recent devastating floods, community support has increased, and the embankment proposal is expected to be reviewed at an upcoming Cabinet meeting.
