Assam Battles Climate Extremes: Floods Devastate Upper Assam, Drought Hits Lower Regions

Assam is facing a dual climate crisis, with Lower Assam reeling from drought and Upper Assam, especially Jorhat’s Titabor subdivision, submerged by floods. Overflowing rivers Kakodonga and Janjuri have inundated villages like Jonaki Mandal No. 1, destroying farmland and displacing residents. Relief efforts are ongoing, with Thengal Kachari Council’s Kumud Chandra Kachari distributing aid and promising agricultural support, health monitoring, and improved infrastructure. The Council pledged continued assistance as affected communities struggle to cope with the destruction.
