The water level of Ranganadi has also been rising and inundated 30 villages under Lakhimpur revenue circle.
Lakhimpur MP Ranee Narah said the erosion problem in Majuli, the world's largest populated river island, was also grave and she announced Rs 10 lakh for erosion and flood control from her MP development fund.
Referring to the issue of big dams, Narah pointed out that the expert committee has submitted its report to the Centre which should be made public.
