The prolonged flood situation in Manas – contributing towards the changes in ecosyste

[Samrat Sarkar]

There is a couple of bungalows known as the Mathanguri FRH on the lap of the hill at the Bhutan border. It is known as Mathanguri FRH. I think this FRH is one of the best FRHs among all other best known FRHs in India in therms of their scenic beauties. While I was on my way to Mathanguri I noticed that the streams of different sizes have shifted their channels.. In some places the flow of water in the original streams have dwindled considerably. Last year the flow in this channel was so forceful and tremendous that the concrete bridge over it got completely washed away. A new bridge had to be constructed in that same place. But this year the flow in this channel is almost absent even after very heavy spells of rains as the channel has shifted its route.
