DIBRUGARH: Rapid erosion by Buri Dehing River at Tingrai under Duliajan police station in the last few days has left seven families homeless. The displaced are currently living along the edge of the Tingrai High School’s playground in makeshift shelters.
The river waters continue to carry away huge chunks of land. A part of the school’s playground has also gone underwater. Meanwhile, people fear for the fate of the institution since the river is just a few meters away. Similarly, a temple is on the verge of being submerged.
