Fresh Brahmaputra Erosion Near CM’s Secretariat Alarms Dibrugarh Residents

Severe erosion by the Brahmaputra at Maijan near the CM’s Secretariat in Dibrugarh has wiped out 15 feet of land, alarming locals. Residents say erosion has persisted for years without a permanent solution. Geo-bags used earlier have failed. The district administration and water resources officials are taking emergency steps. The 1950 earthquake raised the riverbed, making Dibrugarh vulnerable to such erosion.
