Continuous heavy rainfall in Arunachal Pradesh’s upper catchment has prompted NHPC to release excess water from the Subansiri Lower Hydroelectric Project reservoir to ensure dam safety. The increased discharge has raised water levels in the Subansiri River, prompting flood alerts in downstream districts, including Lakhimpur and Dhemaji.
Authorities have urged residents in low-lying and riverbank areas to stay vigilant, avoid fishing, boating, and entering the river until conditions improve.
