Blocks 1, 2 and 3 of Kacharipati area are surrounded by flood waters. 

According to reports, the Aie river, which flows through the district, has swelled after a strong wave of water has gushed down from the hills of Bhutan, causing it to immediately swell and overflow with heavy currents, which in turn has inundated Kacharipati, Silapara Block No 1,2 and 3. 

As per sources, many areas are already submerged under flood waters. Residents are exasperated as not a single minister or local MLA has reached to their air to take stock of the prevailing flood situation.
