Meanwhile, amid continuing rise in water levels of Brahmaputra and Jinjirim rivers residents of plain belt are moving to higher ground. This is to safeguard themselves and their livestock. Despite severe situation, district administration and state government have not yet declared flood. This is leading to frustration among affected people.
Over past few days rising water levels have submerged extensive areas. This has forced many residents to abandon their homes. Some have sought refuge along roadsides. Others have relocated to higher ground at relatives' homes. Local rivers and areas have been steadily inundated, many are now stranded.
