The administration has become vigilant regarding the situation arising from the bank erosion of the Dikhow river in Sivasagar district. Concern has arisen among local residents following reports of this erosion, which has caused river banks to collapse. However, the Chief Minister has given a clear message that the public should not panic under any circumstances in this situation. He stated that the government is closely monitoring the entire matter.
In view of the incident, the Sivasagar district administration has issued an alert in the district. Relevant departments have been directed to take necessary technical steps and safety measures to prevent river erosion. A team of administrative officials and engineers has visited the spot and assessed the affected areas.
During the monsoon season and times when river water levels are high, such erosion incidents occur frequently, directly impacting nearby residential areas and agricultural lands. Therefore, the administration has taken certain precautionary measures in the interest of safety so that no loss of life or major damage occurs.
The local public has been requested to stay at a safe distance from the river banks and to abide by the administration's instructions. It is also learned that the government side is likely to take up a package or scheme very soon for a permanent solution to erosion control. Although the administration claims the situation is now under control, public awareness is being maintained.
