Assam's ongoing flood crisis escalated recently with the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) issuing a critical public advisory for residents near the Dhansiri River in the Golaghat district.
About Dhansiri River:
It is a transboundary river running through the states of Assam and Nagaland and forms an important tributary to the Brahmaputra River.
Course:
It originates from Laisang Peak of Nagaland.
For the first 40 km from its source, the river flows in a northwesterly direction, and thereafter it flows northeast for about 76 km up to Dimapur.
Beyond Dimapur, the direction of flow is generally northerly up to Golaghat in Assam, where the river takes an abrupt turn towards the northwest and ultimately joins the Brahmaputra at Dhansirimukh, Assam.
Major Tributaries: Intaki River, Bara Monglu River, Langlong Nadi, and Amaluma Jan River.
It flows through the Nagaland-Assam border harbouring rich flora and fauna. On one side is the Dhansiri Reserved Forest, and on the other is Intanki National Park.
