[Assam] Floods In Assam - We need to wake up

[DR BIKASH KUMAR DAS]

Dear Mr.MC Mahant,
  Thanks lot and that you did really visited my birthplace.Of course after serving 20 long yrs I am now retired and living in Bangalore.But like you trying to do lot for Assam.I was one of the dynamic student leader till 1982 the time I left for services as found the leadership going wrong way-My heart cries for Assam.Dnt think that I am not with you.
In fact I too mislead the height from google search only.I was also a geography hons student from Mangaldai college, but somewhere I lost the data.Sorry.
  I dnt know how to start as the people living there are also not interested!!!
  Regards.
  Bikash

Dear Dr Das,
Where do you live these days?
One small Correction:<57 feet from ASL>
Kalaigaon Elevation a.m.s.l. should be around 200'. That is what I remember-  my GPS read. 
There are floods right up to the Himalaya  foothills.  
I went to Kolai Gaon  to address a meeting there  in 2005/6 winter.
Told them "North Bank has to be Re-engineered"
Assam needs Re-engineering A to Z.
India Regime can do nothing for Assam-- any time at all. They would not know where to start!
India Regime can do nothing for India  too. 
 
Oronyo Rwodon won't help.
We must Be Sovereign first.
I told MMS  "Liberate us  > and we will Liberate you".
He  is totally unarmed!
 
Try to learn a few truths in a cacophony of noise.
Try  first  by  analyzing  my "50 Questions and 50 Answers" from the Special Pre-Flood issue of 'OXOM BANEE' dtd. 17 June 2005. Do not blame me " Why don't you write in -----".They Won't.

  Friends,
  The geography of Assam is gradually in a devastating stage.The rivers are frequently changing it direction.Every year flood comes, specially the rivers of the north bank got more sppedy current and flow freely now a days.There will be a day when lot many encient places/villages will no more exists.As what had happened to Kundil Nagar and later Sadiya.... which is under mighty Brahmaputra now after 2 earthquakes.I do have one ISRO satelite image of beautiful Assam.But what the ISRO is doing in this regard is a big question.They merely bothered to study the vanishingt geography of Assam.Might be some kind of order from IB,RAW or Govt of India.At present as I know only ISRO is looking for more mineral or other resources through its satelites, so that all could be taken up for the rest of countries benefit.(?)
  My native home is Kalaigaon.Although its only 57 feet from ASL.it never had any history of major flood.But when I visited last year, I was welcomed by a major flood and out house was submeged till varandah level for 3 days.Luckily since its a sloppy area, water flows down.This time I heard the flood from the Himalayan tributories are more and strong.The rivers took new direction making my native as an island!!All the roads are destroyed.I still remember my mothers saying when I was 8 yrs old.. If our home has to be flooded, entire kalaigaon will go down.But now I too do realise that proverb of my mother(She is no more) and suprisingly when surveyed last year, lot many thick forests disappeared due to flooding and water currents.Lot many paddy fields disappeared and new lands with sand came up.
  Again this time as on today- things are more horrible.I feel now ISRO as well Govt of India must look for the solution for the wonderful changes in Assam's geography.Or anyone at NASA will help with a solutions.Historic roads are no more seen.The small drains are now big rivers during rainy season.
  There was great fault by ULFA ten year ago also.that caused all to happen.There was severe draught, and water scarcity prevented cultivations.Then ULFA activist as well villagers in thousands marched to Bhutan and changed to main route flow of lot many rivers by connecting them with another small one to get water.Going against nature is always spitting in the sky!!And what had happened 3 yerar later was entire Darrang district faced the music.There was severe hill break in the deep Bhutan and when all the water suddenly breached, it was a mesh.All the villages like Paneri,Tangla,Deomornoi,Sipajhar,Duni,Naharbari,Dalanghat,
  Kalaigaon,Puthimari,Udalguri,Jalah etc had the history to get erased lot many cultivating villages to come under stone and sand.The roads turned into rivers.....
  And gradually the disaster continues with natures own fury.Could we get relief from settelite studies please?Or the place are going down because of erosons?Of course landslide in guwahati is due to different reasons.But what about places like mine?
  Center will never come for relief.As they feel -let the assamese vanish from India.Till today the PM is concerned upto Bihar only.All because we dnt have death toll.People know survivals and traditionally accustomed with natures fury.This time fishes are seen/caught on the roads... so where we have starvation??Thats what center to say.Sorrowfully its all to the DC and MP or Minister or MLAs to enjoy the relief packages.
  Significantly none thinks about the vanishing places, villages as mentioned.Someone need to come up with an idea to study either through NASA. Now ISRO is only busy to send Israeli sattelie.They might not have time to think of NE geography as none aware of our location too!!!
