The bustling Silchar town in Assam is reeling under the worst floods in memory.  Nearly 96,972 persons are affected by floods in the Silchar town of Cachar district as per the state disaster management. On June 17, the flooding in Silchar had reached unprecedented levels after residents damaged a part of the Barak river’s embankment in the Bethukandi area.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said the flood in Silchar was a man-made disaster even as he conceded not all the marooned could be reached with relief material. If the embankment at Betukandi were not breached, this would not have happened. He added that he had instructed officials to file a case with the police. The breach of embankment will be probed and the culprits will face law. Lapses, if any, on the part of officials will also be investigated, he warned.
