LAKHIMPUR: The chief executive member of the Bodo Kachari Welfare Autonomous Council (BKWAC), Mihiniswar Basumatari, visited the erosion-affected areas caused by the river Lali located under the Jonai subdivision of Dhemaji district.
During the visit, the BKWAC chief arrived at Badalpur under Ramdhan Dikhari Gaon Panchayat of Jonai Revenue Circle by machine boat and took stock of the situation of the erosion-affected people in the areas.

During the visit to the place, the BKWAC chief was accompanied by Dhemaji district UBPO president Ratiram Basumatary, vice-president Dipankar Narzary, Robin Boro, assistant general secretary Somnath Mohilary, undivided Lakhimpur district ex-BLT welfare society president Chanchuma Basumatary, and Jonai district Ganatantrik Suraksha Mancha president Hemkanta Daimary.
