Jhanji river breaches embankment in Jorhat’s Teok, 17 villages submerged
Seventeen villages in Jorhat's Teok area were inundated early Thursday after a ring bund collapsed under pressure from the Jhanji river. This unseasonal deluge, occurring for the first time during the Assamese month of Aahin, caught residents off guard, washing away homes and livestock. While no human lives were lost, families are displaced as disaster management mobilizes relief.
