Massive flow of rain waters coming from the Numaligarh tea garden, situated in the southern side of the National Highway 37, have submerged houses of several people in the area.
The rain waters, which started to flow since 2 am in the wee hours on Tuesday, have created panic among the people.
Artificial flood waters have entered houses of several people in the area.
As the artificial flood waters suddenly entered their houses, the households even did not find time to keep their things in proper places.
Most of the people including women and children had to leave their homes at night and move through waist-deep waters to take shelter in higher and safe places.
Rains continue to create havoc in the area.
The flow rain waters submerged several schools in Numaligarh including the high school, girls’ school and Sishu Kalyan Primary School.
