Floods ravage Assam once again. The Brahmaputra Community Radio Station (BCRS), run by Centre for North East Studies and Policy Research (C-NES) from Dibrugarh's Maijan Ghat along the mighty Brahmaputra is now under flood water. Broadcasting is halted temporarily for now and disruption of electricity supply.
The river along with several of its tributaries are overflowing embankments, breaching them at several places, flowing above the red mark in Dibrugarh and Nimatighat (Jorhat) in upper Assam.
Most of the Boat Clinic operated by C-NES are affected. However, the health camps are continuing in few districts including Kamrup, Nalbari and Bongaigaon assisting local administrations in flood relief work.

A boat in deed saved hopes of hundreds of people floating in the flood hit Dhemaji district. The boat that housed a clinic was the ample aid to save them as the water level of the mighty Brahmaputra suddenly disrupted the quietness of the sandbars. The people there had hardly way at hand to escape the wrath of the riverwaters. Run by Centre for North East Studies and Policy Research (CNES), the Boat Clinic that keeps the hopes sailing silently came to their rescue with relentless help from a Jonai based organization and the district administration. Acting on a slew of a slew of suggestions, a ten member team left for the sandbars much to the respite of many people who were...
