Artificial flood caused by a heavy shower affects several places in North Lakhimpur

A CORRESPONDENT

LAKHIMPUR: Massive logging water caused by a heavy shower on Tuesday night created an artificial flood that affected people of several parts under the North Lakhimpur municipal area.

Water inundated Ward No 1, Ward No. 6, Ward No. 8 and Ward No. 9 of North Lakhimpur town, submerging several residential houses. Several roads and by-lanes under these wards were under water, thereby paralyzing normal life.

The drainage system has not been constructed with an effective plan and scientific methods and the drains are also not cleaned from time-to-time. These factors have led to the artificial flood. People have flayed the role of North Lakhimpur Municipal Board for its alleged dereliction towards performing it responsibilities.
