Doikhana Embankment Breach Floods Assam's Geleki
A big wall that was built to stop the Doikhana River from flooding broke.
This caused a lot of water to go into many villages in Geleki, Assam.
The water is now in people's homes, farms, and tea gardens.
Many roads are also flooded, so people can't get around easily.
It has been raining a lot, which made the flooding worse.
Over one lakh people are affected, and they need help with food and clean water.
The government has not said anything officially yet, but someone important came to see the damage.
Embankment breach along the Doikhana River caused severe flooding in Geleki, Assam.
Over 40 villages, including Lahon Gaon, Moran Gaon, Charaisajiya, and Singibil, are affected.
Floodwaters have submerged homes, agricultural land, and tea gardens, disrupting road connectivity.
Incessant rainfall and water flow from neighboring Nagaland have worsened the flood situation.
Residents urge the government to evacuate stranded families and provide immediate relief.
