Jaji River Embankment Breaches, Flooding Jorhat Villages

Imagine a river that got too full from heavy rain, like a bathtub overflowing!

The Jaji River in India broke through its walls, called an embankment, and flooded nearby villages.

This happened late on Wednesday.

Many homes and farms were damaged, and some people lost their houses and animals.

People are worried because they haven't gotten help yet, and they lost crops and livestock.

Some villagers think the authorities could have done something to prevent this if they had acted sooner.

The flood also affected nearby tea gardens and agricultural fields.

Now people are waiting for the water to go down to assess how bad things really are.
