Meanwhile, the Seram village Secretary, Amit Modi informed that, the villagers of Seram are working hard to minimize the soil erosion by erecting boulder bunds, felling trees on the river bank by holding back/tightening the trunk by strong wire, by using banana trees etc.
“We are however thankful to local MLA Lombo Tayeng and the department of WRD and PWD for helping us in providing basic materials like boulder, wires, JCBs etc by which we could do a good and successful social service of voluntary flood protection works”, added Modi and also hinted of carrying out similar works tomorrow also.
On the other hand, the Namsing village is still continuing its voluntary flood protection works at the site in between Namsing and Kongkul villages where a portion of Mebo Dhola Road was breached recently and the Namsing village is under the verge of erosion. The engineers of WRD, PWD were also seen supervising the works at the site. Two electric poles were also shifted from the location in order to protect the poles from being washed away by the flooding Siang River and also to provide regular power supply to the people of Lower Mebo.
