Dikrong River Erosion Rekindles Fears in Lakhimpur Villagers

Imagine a river like the Dikrong.

Sometimes, a big power company, NEEPCO, has to let water out of a dam upstream to make electricity.

When they let out too much water, especially at night, the river gets bigger and faster.

This makes the riverbanks weak, and the river starts eating away at the land, like a hungry monster.

This has happened before, washing away homes and farms.

Now, it's happening again, even on land people thought was safe.

The river is taking away fields where farmers were growing yummy fruits and vegetables.

It's like the river is changing its path and becoming wider and more messy.

This causes problems for the farmers, making them worry about losing their land all over again.
