Fresh wave of floods this year is creating havoc in many parts of upper Asom, particularly in Jorhat, Lakhimpur and Dibrugarh districts. The Central Water Commission said the Brahmaputra is flowing above the danger level at Nimati Ghat in Jorhat. CWC sources said water levels of the Brahmaputra will cross the danger mark if rainfall continues at Pasighat in Arunachal Pradesh. "In eventuality of waters of the Brahmaputra rising in the next few days, the famed Majuli island would be the first to be inundated,' CWC sources said. Vast areas of Lakhimpur district, including North Lakhimpur town, were submerged by flood waters of several rivers. According to reports, a wave of the Ranga river inundated North Lakhimpur town when the river breached the embankment on its eastern part at two places. The Ranga river also washed away a culvert on NH-52 near the Ganesh Mandir, resulting in suspension of road traffic on the NH-37 from morning. The Dikrong river submerged Bihpuria town in Lakhimpur district and inundated as many as 200 villages of Bihpuria constituency. The Drupong and Pichala rivers also submerged vast areas of the district. Unofficial sources said as many as 700 villages of Lakhimpur district have been affected by this year's floods. Meanwhile, farmers living along the Buri Dehing and Sessa rivers in Dibrugarh district are in a fix. The waters of the river Brahmaputra and its tributaries are rising at an alarming rate, following incessant rainfall in the last few days. Taking into consideration the grim situation, cultivators of areas like Sasoni Telpani, Romai, Khowang, Bolai, Khowang Goroimari, Madhupur, Bogibeel, Lezai, Kolakhowa, Bhogamur, Kawoimari and Jun Gaon, which are situated along these rivers, are yet to sow their paddy sapling seeds. The waters of the Brahmaputra have crossed the danger mark in Dibrugarh to touch 104.86 metres. There are reports that the waters have already damaged crops at Aai Than and Mohpuwalimora. Last year, river waters had submerged these areas destroying standing crops on the fields and forcing the villagers to seek shelter in camps. The farmers faced a scarcity of paddy saplings when the fields were ready for cultivation. On the other hand, the waters of the Dibrugarh town protection drain are creating havoc in a huge area in Larua and Jamira mouzas of Barbarua Development Block. The railway track which is being built from Bogibeel to Moran cuts through the paddy fields and the drain water remains trapped, causing artificial floods in the area. The railway authorities have failed to make provisions for the water to flow to the other side. The farmers in the area are also unable to step into the paddy fields as the drain waters bring along medical wastes like disposable syringes, broken glass and sharp objects and often cause injuries and cuts.
