DIBRUGARH, May 30 - Flood Erosion Resistance Struggle Forum, a body of the flood and erosion affected people in Dibrugarh and Tinsukia districts, has demanded that all the flood and erosion affected people along the Brahmaputra, particularly within the Chabua revenue circle, be rehabilitated by the state government.
The office-bearers of the forum after visiting the flood-affected areas like Rongmola, Tengabari, Gereki and Mirigaon near Muluk Gaon, the native village of Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, today said the situation in these areas has become critical due to riverbank erosion.
Binod Kedia, president of the forum, told The Assam Tribune that after the first wave of flood, erosion has rendered several families homeless. Tracts of agricultural fields have also been affected.
Besides all these, about 92 families spending nights on roads are left without food and proper shelter, Kedia added.
The forum has urged upon the government to take up relief and rehabilitation works on a war footing.
