IIT-Guwahati roped in to find solution to problem of flooding in Dibrugarh: Sonowal

Dibrugarh, Aug 13 (PTI): Union minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Tuesday said IIT-Guwahati has been approached by the Assam government for technical analysis of flooding in Dibrugarh and finding a lasting solution.

Sonowal, the Lok Sabha MP from Dibrugarh, reviewed the flood-affected and erosion-prone areas in the constituency and assessed the work done to protect them.

He said that IIT-Guwahati will conduct a study on the factors contributing to flooding in Dibrugarh.

The institute will prepare a master plan and offer technical advice and support to the government, he said.

Sonowal said the state government has formally requested IIT-Guwahati’s assistance and assured that necessary actions would be taken based on their recommendation.

Following heavy rains, floods and erosion severely impacted daily life in Dibrugarh.

Sonowal said IIT-Guwahati will also be consulted for sewer management in Chabua.

The minister also took part in the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ bike rally organised by the district BJP.
