Gogoi said erosion creates more long-term losses compared to floods as villages, schools, acres of farmland, homes and health centres are swallowed up by the rivers.”It is the poor esp women and children who face the greatest brunt from climate change. We need massive investment in flood and erosion management in Assam. International institutions, local communities, district and state administrations, central government everyone needs to lend a hand,” he said.Gogoi also expressed grief over the death of an eight-year-old boy, who was swept away in an overflooded drain after falling from his father’s scooter in Guwahati two days ago.
