NE floods: Climate is not the only villain

Hindustan Times  

In one of the worst episodes of flooding in India’s ecologically critical Northeastern region, five states -- Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Nagaland, and Arunachal Pradesh -- have been badly affected. The deluge and landslides have killed at least 100 people, displaced thousands, affected livelihoods, destroyed properties and expensive infrastructure worth crores, and inundated national parks and wildlife sanctuaries. PREMIUM National Disaster Response Force personnel rescue people from a flood-affected area, Kamrup, June 21, 2022 While Assam, the worst affected state, is one of the most flood-prone in India due to its intricate network of rivers and their tributaries, scientists say this year’s event shows the irrefutable footprint of the climate crisis. Unless corrective actions on both the infrastructure and climate crisis fronts are taken urgently, the region will continue to pay a heavy price every year in a climate-hit era.
