PASIGHAT, Jul 28: In an attempt to protect their land, the villagers of Borguli and Seram under Mebo Sub-division carried out massive voluntary flood protection works by felling trees and raising other natural structures on the bank of the river to divert the water currents.
The people of Borguli village carried out mass social service along the banks of river Siang today where the flooded Siang has eroded away more than 20-50 mtrs of land toward the village. The trees felled along the river bank is a traditional way of diverting the river current.
Meanwhile, the Seram village also carried out similar voluntary flood control works in between Borguli and Seram.
The Disaster Management Committee of Seram led the voluntary flood control work by engaging an elephant to lift the trees and logs near the bank of river Siang.
