The Assam government has unveiled a ₹150 crore project aimed at mitigating flood risks in Jorabat, a town on the outskirts of Guwahati, as part of the Guwahati Ring Road development.
The Assam government today announced a ₹150 crore flood mitigation project for the town of Jorabat, located on the periphery of Guwahati. The initiative is part of the broader Guwahati Ring Road development plan and is designed to reduce the town’s vulnerability to seasonal floods.
The project will involve the construction of embankments, drainage improvements, and the installation of flood warning systems along key waterways that traverse Jorabat. Officials say the infrastructure upgrades will help protect residential areas, schools, and local businesses from water damage.
Work is expected to begin in the coming months, with a projected completion timeline of 18 to 24 months. The scheme is part of Assam’s ongoing efforts to strengthen disaster resilience in the region, following several severe flood events in recent years.
