CM orders probe into breach of embankment Staff Reporter & UNI GUWAHATI, Sept 1: Floods continued to wrack havoc in Asom where the Puthimari river overtopped NH 31, the lifeline of the Northeast, snapping road communication. Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi, along with Water Resource Minister Bharat Chandra Narah and Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Bhubaneswar Kalita, visited Rangiya. Gogoi ordered an inquiry into the breach in the newly constructed embankment along the Puthimari river. Returning to Guwahati, the Chief Minister reviewed the flood situation at a meeting at his residence. The meeting was attended by Principal Revenue Secretary VK Piparsania, Additional Chief Secretary PP Verma and other officials. Gogoi asked the officials to see that the relief and rescue operations go smoothly. He made it a point that the embankments that were breached this year will have to be repaired in October. The Puthimari river, flowing at 52.40 metres at the NH crossing, breached four embankments since yesterday submerging over 300 villages in three revenue circles under Rangiya subdivision in Kamrup district. The NH 31 has also been overtopped at a 3-km stretch, halting traffic through it. The Indian Air Force
