Sudden Brahmaputra Erosion Alarms Dibrugarh Residents

A sudden erosion at Kacharighat, Dibrugarh, swallowed about 40 ft by 70 ft of land within minutes, sparking panic. Residents fear the Brahmaputra is advancing dangerously close to settlements, despite geo-bag and concrete protections failing. Officials rushed mitigation efforts with sandbags, geo-bags, and planned porcupine installations. Authorities acknowledged the urgent need for stronger, long-term anti-erosion measures.
