Brahmaputra Erosion Threatens Historic Sites in Sivasagar

Brahmaputra Erosion Threatens Historic Sites in Sivasagar

In Sivasagar, the Brahmaputra river is eroding its southern bank, which is worrying for the people living nearby.

This erosion is threatening two important religious places, Ramkha Pith and Ajan Peer Durgah.

The local leader, Akhil Gogoi, and the government have promised to fix the problem, but nothing has happened yet.

On the other hand, a central government minister, Pabitra Margherita, visited the safai workers (cleaners) in Sivasagar.

He talked to them about their problems, especially financial issues, and encouraged them to use government schemes like Aadhaar and Ayushman cards.

He also gave school bags to some children and had lunch with the workers.

The minister said the government is ready to help poor and deserving students.
