# Flash Flood Inundates Kaziranga Areas After Heavy Rain 2026-08-07T06:11:52+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A flash flood inundated residences and school buildings in Kohora and other parts of the greater Kaziranga area after heavy rain since Tuesday night, The Assam Tribune reports. Water rushed down from the adjoining Karbi Anglong hills, causing panic among residents. Sources cited by the newspaper blamed extensive earth cutting and deforestation for reducing the soil’s ability to absorb and retain water. Unplanned drainage and boundary walls blocking natural water channels also worsened the flooding. The sources warned that continued hill degradation could bring further disaster unless the State Forest department and civil administration act. ## Coverage - assamtribune.com Tags: Assam floods, deforestation, flash floods, Karbi Anglong, Kaziranga Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/flash-flood-inundates-kaziranga-areas-after-heavy-rain/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
