DONGKAMUKAM, May 21: The Kopili River is rising steadily following continuous heavy rainfall over the past few days in West Karbi Anglong District. In response, authorities have issued a red alert for West Karbi Anglong as well as several districts in middle Assam, including Hojai, Nagaon, and Morigaon.
The District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), Hamren WKA, has also confirmed the release of water from the Khandong Dam at the Kopili Hydro Power Station in Dima Hasao district. Seven gates of the dam have been opened to manage the rising water levels, a move necessitated by the heavy downpour in Dima Hasao and the neighboring state of Meghalaya.
