Erosion threatens Satra: The historic Mayamora Tipuk Brajapur Satra, a religious and cultural centre of the Moran ethnic group situated by the side of Dibru river is being threatened by the erosion caused by the river. The erosion, that started on April 18, has already washed away an area of about 9 to 10 bigha of land including a portion of the boundary wall.
At present there is only 10 to 15 feet separating the Satra from the river. The people of the nearby areas organised Nam Kirtan to appease god for saving the Satra.
The Water Resource Department has put in efforts to save the historic Satra with the sanctioned amount of Rs 1.11 crore but the local people as well as the Satra Unnayan samity have expressed their dissatisfaction over the functioning of the of the department.
According to them, if no big plan is undertaken to save the Satra, it would be only be a matter of time when the entire Satra would be taken away by the river.
Bodies recovered: Bodies of Sankar Chetry, aged about 28 years and his sister Juma Chetry, aged about 24 years, were found at a waterlogged area in a paddy field near Sripuria recently. They were the children of Chandra Bahadur Chetry, resident of Lachit Nagar, Congress Colony, Sripuria of Tinsukia.
