NEW DELHI: The flood situation in Assam has deteriorated as the Dhansiri (South) in Golaghat district and the Dikhow in Sivasagar district are now flowing above the danger mark, according to a daily flood bulletin issued on Friday by the Central Water Commission (CWC). In addition, Assam has six more sites classified under the ‘above normal flood’ category. These two locations are currently the only ones falling under the “severe flood” category and the water levels are still rising. This implies that although the water levels have surpassed the danger mark, they remain below the highest flood levels recorded, as reported by PTI.The bulletin monitors the key flood forecasting sites across India and reports that the two rivers are marking the “severe flood” situation category. The Dhansiri (South) river was flowing at 78.81 metres on Friday above the danger level of 78.42 metres, with the water level rising at a steady 20mm per hour earlier in the day. The Dikhow in Sivasagar district river is also flowing at 92.57 metres, rising at a steady 110mm per hour. It was flowing above the danger level of 92.4 metres.The six more sites, which are classified under the ‘above normal flood’ category, include rivers like the Barak at Annapurna Ghat (Cachar), the Beki at Beki Road Bridge (Barpeta), and the Brahmaputra at Neamatighat (Jorhat). According to the latest bulletin, water levels at these locations are rising or stable, having crossed warning levels and inching closer to the danger mark.Last month, 10 major rivers that included the Brahmaputra and Barak crossed the danger mark. Officials had reported that over 3.64 lakh people had been affected across 19 districts in the state. There are 14 sites across the country, including the Dhansiri (South) and the Dikhow, which are currently under the “severe flood” category with water levels above the warning level, as per the CWC. The other 12, spread across Assam, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal, are in the “above normal” category. Reservoir inflows are under close monitoring, with 25 sites across 11 states currently receiving inflows above the prescribed threshold levels. Notable among these are major reservoirs in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and Tamil Nadu, among others.The P D Jurala dam in Telangana marked a surge of 3,400 cumecs, while the Bargi reservoir on the Narmada in Madhya Pradesh witnessed a particularly high inflow rate of 6,948 cumecs.The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has deployed 97 teams across various flood-prone areas to ensure a quick response for flood rescue operations, as per Piyush Anand, the director general of NDRF.
