[Samrat Sarkar]

And, in this small channel the flow of water is totally absent, though at the onset of the monsoon season there was flow of water in it. It is very much natural for these small rivulets of the forest to shift their channels during monsoon as the beds of the channels wither. the ecosystems of the surrounding areas change. This way the flood has been inducing changes in the nature of Manas unawarely. The local administration regularly hold Bhutan responsible for the flood. But the Bhutanese administration claims that there is no reservoir in the Kurichu ower Project and they also claim that all the vital informations from their part are shared with India as per requirement. In this connection it may be mentioned that the Kurichu Dam was designed, constructed and monitored jointly with Indian experts and financial support.
