Residents of Raghubari village, eight kms away from the historic Gaurisagar tank in Sivasagar district are living in constant fear of losing their land and property and becoming homeless due to largescale erosion on the south bank of Dikhow river over the years.
During the past 20 days, erosion by the river has reportedly increased manifold. As a result of the massive erosion by the river, villagers of Raghubari and adjoining hamlets were feeling worried as a portion of the embankment was reportedly washed away recently, thereby posing serious threat not only to their village, but to people of Dikhow, Gaurisagar, Charing and several other nearby areas too.It may be mentioned here that the oil drilling stations of Rongpur and Bhotiapar too are located in nearby areas of Raghubari.
