Digital Desk: In an update on the significant landslide disaster at the Lower Subansiri Hydro Electric Power project of the National Hydro Electric Power Corporation (NHPC) in the district of Dhemaji, Assam, it is reported that one labour has died while several others sustained injuries.
Although the deceased labourer's name is unidentified, however, it has been discovered that they were from Arunachal Pradesh.
The other injured labourers were being sent to Lakhimpur Medical College Hospital (LMCH) for better treatment.
A landslide that occurred at around 11:30 a.m. on Friday has blocked the only diversion tunnel number one in use, out of five diversion tunnels with a 9.5 m diameter, according to a statement released by the NHPC authorities.
“Earlier, the other 4 numbers of diversion tunnels had already been blocked. As a result, the river flow to downstream is highly reduced. The dam spillway bay level is 145m MSL. The present river flow of 997cum/sec is being stored in the reservoir and the water level of the reservoir is increasing. The water level reached 139m at 1 pm. It is expected the water level to reach 145m by the evening and the river will again flow through the spillway to the downstream normally,” the statement reads.
