The situation of the state due Assam Floods has been deteriorating to a certain extent as it has affected more than 70,000 people at large.
The rising level of river water in the state is causing quite a worrisome situation in the present context of Assam Floods. The ongoing Assam floods has already created panic among people. In addition, NEEPCO’s Kopili Hydro Electric Project has released the water, resulting in a higher water level. This ultimately will affect the low-lying areas of the state.
Few of the images on social media show quite a terrifying situation of water released by the dam. Further, the level of the water has been rising constantly due to the current weather condition.
