Severe Erosion Threatens Villages in Tinsukia’s Margherita Constituency

Severe erosion by the Burhidihing River has destroyed hundreds of bighas of farmland in Assam’s Margherita constituency, putting villages like Mugongpathar and Alubari at risk. Locals fear for their homes and livelihoods as the riverbank collapses.

All Assam Students’ Union leader Uttam Mahan urged immediate government action, while residents criticized local MLA Bhaskar Sharma for inaction. The community is calling for urgent measures to prevent further erosion.
