Unabated erosion of Matmara embankment causes concern
Due to the unabated erosion at the Matmara dyke in Dhakuakhana by the river Brahmaputra, about 80 families, who had been living there since 2007 had to leave their homes to other safe places. According to sources, a part of the Matmara dyke had already been submerged as the concrete embankments that were built to check the inflow of the flood waters had been destroyed.
