  • In Lakhimpur, 50 villages were inundated due to flash floods that occurred in the Ranganadi on Monday night. Lakhimpur Deputy Commissioner Jayant Narlikar said the floods were caused due to a cloud burst in Ziro in Arunachal Pradesh, forcing the North Eastern Electric Power Corporation (NEEPCO) to release excess waters from its hydel project upstream.

    Flash floods in the Jiya-Bharali river, which also comes down from Arunachal Pradesh, on the other hand, have inundated 12 villages in Sonitpur district. The Jiya-Bharali has also caused extensive damage to the Nameri National Park, which was preparing to reopen for tourists on November 1.
