          THE FLOOD HAVOC IN ASSAM


The flood in Assam has turn into a regular devastation in Assam. It has been occurring in Assam for decades. The state of Assam is frequently ravaged by the fury of mighty Brahmaputra river and its tributaries causing untold human misery and bring indescribable destruction to nature and its beauty.

There are several factors responsible for the occurrence of flood in Assam.

1.Assam lies in the heart of monsoon belt and so it receives abundance of rainfall.

2. Numerous tributaries of Brahmaputra river such as :Subansiri, Manas, ,Kopili, Dhansiri,Bhogdoi etc. gets flooded and overflow their banks flooding the vast plain of the state.

3. The presence of the long range of mountains on its northern and eastern borders which compels the water to flow down into the vast plains on which thousands of villages submerged under it.

The havoc of flood in Assam is beyond description.


People lost theirs  home, cattles and valuable goods are washed away, crops gets damaged. Many people died of starvation and hunger . We don't know when will we finally get ourselves free from the problem of flood . The floods in Assam have wrecked havoc across the state with death of many creatures. Not only the human life, but the wildlife has also been badly affected with over 540 animals, including Rhinos, perishing in the world-famed Kaziranga National Park.

Hog deer are the worst hit with 465 of them succumbing to the flood waters which have inundated nearly 80 percent of the Park's area.

Along with these , other casualties include 10 swamp deer, 28 wild boars, five porcupine, 16 sambars and two each of python, wild buffalo and hog badgers in the last year flood.

 

No doubt, the Government, has taken several flood control measures to lessen the menace and effect of flood in the state. Immediate flood relief measures include setting up of relief camps, free distribution of

 food, clothes and medicines, cash compensation for the lost property etc. The chief flood control measures have been the construction of embankments along the banks of the rivers in the affected areas.

Every individuals should try to help the people who are a victim to the flood havoc caused in our state each and  every year.

It’s high time for us to take some steps forward for the development of the flood victim.
