ITANAGAR: Massive erosion was detected on the banks of the Warriyang Bung river, one of the Kameng's tributaries, by a special team tracking the river's route upstream.
"Intensive erosion of the Warriyang Bung river's bank-led in the accumulation of mud, debris, rocks, and trees," DC Pravimal Abhishek Polutmatla, a member of the fact-finding team, explained. "According to an independent researcher and observations based on aerial survey and satellite images, the Warriyang Bung river's width has risen to a considerable amount owing to erosion and has reached roughly 30 km downstream," he added.
Although no water body has formed along the tributary's banks, its banks have broadened, according to the initial aerial survey. The issue is being closely monitored by the district administration, particularly during the next 48 hours.
The survey team included Dani Salu, Secretary of Disaster Management, East Kameng DC Pravimal Abhishek Polutmatla, independent researcher Chintan Sheth, and NDRF officers. Following the turbidity of the Kameng River on October 26th, which resulted in a large number of fish dying and drifting in the river, officials began a physical investigation of the river at several sites. While looking for the source of Kameng's turbidity, they discovered that the Warriyang Bung river's tributaries, such as the Para, Pakke, Pachuk, Pachi, and Pacha, were clean.
Earlier in the day, Seth, the team's independent researcher, discovered debris flow along the Warriyang Bung river in Marjangla. The glaciers at Bung's source are thought to have migrated, bringing enormous debris with them.
