The flood situation in south Assam's Barak Valley, especially in Karimganj district, has worsened in the past 24 hours after a brief span of normality.

Sources in the Karimganj water resources division said two of the three major rivers in the valley were flowing above the danger level today.

The water level of the Longai, which flows through the northern and southern parts of the district and a certain portion of Patharkandi constituency, was recorded at 22.94 metres at noon, just above its danger level of 22 metres.

Achinta Roy, an executive engineer of the Karimganj water resources division, told The Telegraph this afternoon that the department was alert about the flood situation and the staff had been deployed at important locations in the district.

He said the rivers were swelling unexpectedly because of the waters flowing in from their sub-tributaries in the hilly regions.

Supplies have been stocked in areas where there is possibility of embankment breach and the department is prepared to tackle difficult situations, he added.

Some of the affected villages are Teghoria, Elaspur, Farampasha, Nabipur, Ichhamati, Badejama and Salepur. They all fall under South Karimganj constituency. Agricultural lands were submerged and road connectivity cut off in many areas.

There has been 70mm rainfall in the district in last 24 hours.

Hailakandi deputy commissioner Krishna Gobinda Bhuyan told this correspondent this afternoon that rivers have breached their embankments in several areas of the district and repairs have been initiated.

He said the district administration was distributing relief materials in the flood-affected areas.

Bhuyan said patowaris (village registrars) were inspecting the areas and would submit their reports to the respective circle officers. The circle officers will submit the reports to the district administration which will send it to the state government for compensation to the flood-affected victims.

Data with Silchar water resources division says the water level of the Barak, whose danger level is 19.83 metres, was 17.88 metres at 9am.

There has been around 10mm rainfall in the district in the past 24 hours.
