Panic in State over Bhutan water release

Panic in State over Bhutan water release
From Our Correspondent
BARPETA, June 26 – The countdown for a great flood has begun in Barpeta and Baksa as the water level of Manah and Beki began to rise abnormally obviously due to the release of excess water from the Kurichchu dyke in neighbouring Bhutan since yesterday. According to water resource department sources the water level rose to 44.48 metre, increasing 9 cm during the last twenty-four hours. People became panicky at the sudden turn of event as they have not yet recovered well from the onslaught of last year’s calamity which had ravaged them by breaching the Beki dyke at Narayanguri on July 31, 2007, exactly three years from the first such calamity in 2004.

A team of Bharatiya Janata Party workers led by its National Executive Council member Ranjit Das visited the site at Narayanguri today and expressed shock over the

deliberate negligence shown towards the lives and property of the people of Assam by the neighbouring country. It also criticised the Government of Assam for its indifference to such a grave problem. BJP also expressed apprehension that the embankment built this year may collapse anytime as it has been built of sand.
