Part 5
It was known from the local people that the inherent nature of Manas is gradually deteriorating due to the newly constructed dam intended for the two hydroelectric projects one on Kurichu river , [HEP (60MW)] and the other on Mangdechu river [HEP (270MW)]. These two rivers have joined themselves with the Manas-Beki river system in their downstream.
As a result, a large part of the Manas gets flooded whenever excess water is released from these two dams. This year the flood situation here is worse than that of the previous five years. The anxious faces of the local people of the villages of this fringe areas confirms and authenticate the grim flood situation here.
