Moreover, the Minister stated, as most rivers of Chirang flow from the foothills of Bhutan so, the water current is very strong, which caused erosion in the banks of those rivers.
However, he pointed out that the length of the rivers which flows through Chirang is not much, so a planned action can help alleviate the issue.
