&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Year after year, flooding in the Jiadhal ruins homes and fields. Year after year, politicians make promises that aren&amp;rsquo;t kept.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The electoral heat is soaring in Assam with the three-phase assembly election kicking off on March 27. But for Kalpana Bora, 60, this frenzy means nothing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s a dusty March afternoon and Kalpana is sitting in her home next to the busy NH-15 highway in Kekuri gaon. Her face is lined with worry and it isn&amp;rsquo;t about the election: it&amp;rsquo;s about the upcoming floods in Assam. Based on last year&amp;rsquo;s record, she said, the first dhal, wave, is likely to come roaring in about one and a half months from now.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Kekuri is home to about 120 families belonging to the Ahom and Sonowal communities. It&amp;rsquo;s also among dozens of villages in northern Assam&amp;rsquo;s Dhemaji district that are annually inundated by the tempestuous Jiadhal river from late April to October.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;These floods are a perennial problem in Assam. The state has lost 4,270 sq km of land &amp;ndash; more than Goa&amp;rsquo;s total area &amp;ndash; to river erosion since 1950, and 2,500 villages have been wiped out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Jiadhal river flows from Arunachal Pradesh&amp;rsquo;s Abor Hills down through Lower Siang and then through Dhemaji in Assam. Dhemaji is one of the worst flood-affected districts in the state; the river&amp;rsquo;s flooding affected nearly 1.3 lakh people last July.&lt;/p&gt;

But for Kalpana Bora, 60, this frenzy means nothing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s a dusty March afternoon and Kalpana is sitting in her home next to the busy NH-15 highway in Kekuri gaon. Her face is lined with worry and it isn&amp;rsquo;t about the election: it&amp;rsquo;s about the upcoming floods in Assam. Based on last year&amp;rsquo;s record, she said, the first dhal, wave, is likely to come roaring in about one and a half months from now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Kekuri is home to about 120 families belonging to the Ahom and Sonowal communities. It&amp;rsquo;s also among dozens of villages in northern Assam&amp;rsquo;s Dhemaji district that are annually inundated by the tempestuous Jiadhal river from late April to October.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;These floods are a perennial problem in Assam. The state has lost 4,270 sq km of land &amp;ndash; more than Goa&amp;rsquo;s total area &amp;ndash; to river erosion since 1950, and 2,500 villages have been wiped out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Jiadhal river flows from Arunachal Pradesh&amp;rsquo;s Abor Hills down through Lower Siang and then through Dhemaji in Assam. Dhemaji is one of the worst flood-affected districts in the state; the river&amp;rsquo;s flooding affected nearly 1.3 lakh people last July.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.newslaundry.com/2021/03/26/politicians-get-richer-our-lives-worse-why-assams-dhemaji-isnt-moved-by-this-election?fbclid=IwAR1bmbtzwofCNTIZHR_oNbyn53fF6OVvk_KmtyCvAWoBRXP1xDzHmbycdE8&quot; title=&quot;https://www.newslaundry.com/2021/03/26/politicians-get-richer-our-lives-worse-why-assams-dhemaji-isnt-moved-by-this-election?fbclid=IwAR1bmbtzwofCNTIZHR_oNbyn53fF6OVvk_KmtyCvAWoBRXP1xDzHmbycdE8&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more.&lt;/p&gt;&#039;

‘Politicians get richer, our lives worse’: Why Assam’s flood-hit Dhemaji isn’t moved by this election -Ayan Sharma

-Newslaundry.com Year after year, flooding in the Jiadhal ruins homes and fields. Year after year, politicians make promises that aren’t kept. The electoral heat is soaring in Assam with the three-phase assembly election kicking off on March 27. But for Kalpana Bora, 60, this frenzy means nothing. It’s a dusty March afternoon and Kalpana is sitting in her home next to the busy NH-15 highway in Kekuri gaon. Her face is lined with worry and it isn’t about the election: it’s about the upcoming floods in Assam. Based on last year’s record, she said, the first dhal, wave, is likely to come roaring in about one and a half months from now. Kekuri is home to about 120 families belonging to the Ahom and Sonowal communities. It’s also among dozens of villages in northern Assam’s Dhemaji district that are annually inundated by the tempestuous Jiadhal river from late April to October. These floods are a perennial problem in Assam. The state has lost 4,270 sq km of land – more than Goa’s total area – to river erosion since 1950, and 2,500 villages have been wiped out. The Jiadhal river flows from Arunachal Pradesh’s Abor Hills down through Lower Siang and then through Dhemaji in Assam. Dhemaji is one of the worst flood-affected districts in the state; the river’s flooding affected nearly 1.3 lakh people last July. Please click here to read more.
