THE DESTRUCTION IN RAIN DURING LANDSLIDE
Western Assam’s Barpeta district was the worst affected with 3.84 lakh people displaced, followed by Dhemaji (1.31 lakh) and Golaghat (1.08 lakh). An overflowing Brahmaputra inundated 125 of Kaziranga National Park’s 223 anti-poaching camps, but officials said the water level was manageable and necessary for the natural cleansing of the one-horn rhino habitat’s water bodies. There was no addition to the 41 animals that died over a month.
In Tinsukia district, operations to douse the flame atop a natural gas well of Oil India Limited were affected by the flooding of the site at Baghjan. The operations had resumed after the water level subsided a week ago, and the fire-fighters are expected to kill the fire by July 15.
Heavy rain lashed several parts of Arunachal Pradesh during the last 24 hours, causing landslides and flash floods. Officials said there was no loss of life but many places have been cut off and some vital bridges were under threat.
