paragraph on flood of 2019 in Assam
Answers
Explanation:
Assam falls under a meteorological zone that receives excess monsoon rains
Brahmaputra carries a lot of water and sediments - another natural reason for floods
Destruction of wetlands and encroachment of plains have worsened the situation
It's tucked away in the inside pages of national newspapers, rarely makes it to prime time TV bulletins, hardly finds mention in the national discourse on development...floods in Assam are an annual affair, rarely raising more than an eyebrow.
As sure as night follows day, floods in Assam (and in most parts of the Northeast) follow the monsoon. This year has been no different.
According to data put out by Assam State Disaster Management Authority, till July 18 the death toll has touched 27 and is likely to go up. Over 4,000 villages in 28 districts out of the state's 33 have been affected.
Assam's population is just over 3 crore; of this 53.5 lakh-plus people are under threat. While close to 1,000 houses have been damaged, 88 animals have been washed away. Over 16 lakh animals, including livestock have been affected.
