Project Brahmaputra Expressway
will be a proper investment as lot of worth to go for it where Rastriya Barh
Ayog (RBA) had to state 39.58 % of Assam’s land is flood prone apart from being
recognized as seismic zone.
Assam like rest of Northeast
states comes under seismic zone that intensifies more risk of earthquake
frequency apart from river inundation possibilities. Since this region is in India’s extreme
east also faces intensive challenges of landslide due to flood and frequent
earthquakes.
Accumulation of land from
landslide and erosion affects rivers to swell, leading water to overflow the
embankment and spread fast to new remote areas, causing extensive deposition of
silt and sand to the areas. This on turn makes the village crop land unfit for
cultivation.
Technique of dredging of rivers
was started long way back during Congress regime but its impact was not
potential enough. Project Brahmaputra Expressway’s dredging project on both
sides of the river has got affected due to higher intensity rainfall this year
causing 8000 hectares of land loss with more widening in river’s width. This
entire mess is due to changes in weather condition and the alternative to it according
to expert is through open of more water
channels as dredging is an exhaustive process with annual widening of rivers.
