Nagaland Deforestation Worsens Assam Floods

A river expert has stated that the loss of forest cover in Nagaland has played a significant role in worsening the flood situation in Upper Assam. The removal of trees and vegetation has led to increased runoff of water, resulting in more severe flooding in the region. This highlights the importance of preserving forest cover in preventing such disasters. The impact of deforestation on the environment and local communities is a pressing concern that needs to be addressed.
