Farmers in Kendrapada's Pattamundai block face irrigation crisis. The Gobari river is choked by dense weed growth and illegal encroachments. This obstructs water flow, impacting summer paddy and vegetable cultivation. River stretches are becoming biologically dead. Authorities have begun restoration work, including weed clearance and eviction of encroachers. The water resources department is renovating the river.

In response to the ongoing crisis of Brahmaputra river erosion, Dibrugarh is mobilizing resources. State Minister Prasanta Phukan has initiated an essential dredging project at Bogibeel to alleviate silt accumulation threatening the bridge's stability.

After torrential downpours, Guwahati grapples with artificial flooding, compelling the chief secretary to instruct civic departments and the Water Resources Department to maintain round-the-clock readiness. Landslide threats keep the district administration vigilant.
