Need To Check Recurring Floods In Barak And Brahmaputra Valleys By De-Silting ... on 7 August, 2006
> Title: Need to check recurring floods in Barak and Brahmaputra Valleys by de-silting with dredgers.
SHRI LALIT MOHAN SUKLABAIDYA (KARIMGANJ): Sir, the people of Barak Valley and Brahmaputra Valley in Assam have been suffering miserably because of devastating flood, which causes huge losses of properties, crops, even human lives. Sufferings of the affected people due to flood are immense and continue year after year. While generally the people in the State are aware that substantial funds are released from time to time by the Central Government, they do not feel any perceivable result in lessening their sufferings at all. One of the main reasons of flood is accumulation of silt which is common in all rivers in India and to tackle such situations, de-silting by dredgers is considered to be immediate solution and generally followed elsewhere. In the absence of any visible evidence of dredging of any river in Assam, people are unaware whether the Brahmaputra Board, which is the monitoring agency for substantial funds released by Government of India, has already suggested dredging of flooding of rivers in Assam or taken any step that is effective to control recurrence of flood.
I, therefore, request the hon. Minister of Water Resources to be kind enough to throw some light in this respect for satisfaction of huge number of flood affected people of Barak and Brahmaputra Valleys.
