/ Agencies:
The embankment built along the Sakri river played an important role in protecting the settlement from floodwater. Despite a rise in the river’s water level, the embankment prevented water from reaching the settlement, giving people relief from possible damage. However, construction of the embankment is still incomplete, raising fears that the flood risk may increase again in the coming period.
At the local level, concern remains over the incomplete portion of the embankment. If the remaining construction work is not completed on time, water could move toward the settlement through the unfinished section if the river level rises. This could cause damage to nearby residents and their property.
The purpose of the embankment is to protect the settlement from the river’s rising water level. In this situation, completing the unfinished construction is considered necessary. Local people have demanded that the department concerned complete the remaining work soon, so that the threat of flooding during future rains can be avoided.
