On Sunday morning, a brief but intense pre-monsoon rain caused significant flooding in Tinsukia, Assam, with streets submerged in knee-deep water. Key areas affected included Rangagora Road, Chaliha Nagar, and AT Road, leading to shop closures throughout the morning. Local residents expressed alarm over the flooding, questioning how the town would cope once the actual monsoon arrives. Many attributed the flooding to inadequate drainage infrastructure, citing issues such as choked drains, encroachments on natural water channels, and unplanned construction as contributing factors. Areas like Jyotinagar and Bordoloi Nagar have long been recognized as needing immediate intervention. Despite repeated promises from local authorities to improve drainage systems, residents remain frustrated by the lack of action, fearing that the situation will worsen with the full onset of the monsoon season. The community is calling for concrete measures to address the chronic waterlogging problem that has plagued Tinsukia for years.
