Assam tea plantations face a labor crisis as rising heat reduces yields and stagnant prices drive workers away

Rising temperatures and stagnant tea prices are reducing yields and driving workers away from plantations that produce more than half of India's tea.

‘We feared we’d all be drowned’: the Indian floods that killed more than 100 and left thousands homeless
By Maitreyee Boruah in Guwahati, Assam

More than 2,600 villages have been flooded in Assam this year, in a climate disaster made worse by uncontrolled deforestation and mining in the region

📰 Assam Man’s Simple Solar Invention Warns You of Hidden Drains Under Floodwater

🗒 "Made using used plastic bottles and other low-cost materials, the device reflects sunlight during the day, making submerged drains and potholes easier to spot. After sunset, a built-in solar light switches on automatically, helping pedestrians and motorists navigate flooded roads more safely."

What is in #Assam nowadays instead of massive ancient forests which would ordinarily would protect against this flooding?

It's #palmoil!

“… In hilly regions transitioning rapidly to low gradient alluvial plains, localized hydrometeorological triggers can instantly scale into devastating basin wide disasters. This study dissects the September 2020 cascading hazard in parts of the Arunachal Pradesh-Assam corridor to quantify the rapid coupling between upstream hillslopes and downstream floodplains.
Check out the [attached graphical abstract figure] for an integrated visual workflow of the entire disaster continuum from hillslope failure to floodplain transformation...”

“Extreme precipitation in the Eastern Himalaya is increasingly associated with coupled hillslope-floodplain hazards. This study examines the 17th-18th September 2020 rainfall event in Arunachal Pradesh initiating landslides and its downstream impacts in Assam, India, using multi-sensor satellite data and long-term rainfall records. Sentinel-2 imagery was used to map landslides and debris flows, Sentinel-1 SAR data to delineate flood extent, and IMD gridded rainfall (1996–2020) to analyse rainfall spell characteristics. The event triggered widespread slope failures, localized landslide damming, and a subsequent breach, generating sediment-laden flows that inundated ~ 100 km² of the Dhemaji floodplain. A backscatter-derived Relative Flood Volume Index (RFVI) indicates spatial variability in inundation intensity, although it does not represent absolute flood volume. Rainfall analysis suggests that antecedent wetness from preceding spells preconditioned slopes, while peak daily rainfall (> 170 mm day−1) initiated landsliding. Power-law scaling shows negligible dependence of intensity on duration (R2 ≈ 0.0004), whereas cumulative rainfall exhibits a stronger relationship with duration (R2 ≈ 0.54). These results indicate distinct roles of rainfall intensity and accumulation in controlling landslide initiation and downstream flooding, respectively, highlighting the importance of compound rainfall forcing in rapid hydrogeomorphic cascades…”

A young goat destined to be sacrificed to the goddess Kamakhya as an act of devotion. The tradition of bali (offering or sacrifice) is, in this context, a ritual practice linked to fertility, power and devotion to the goddess Kamakhya, associated with the divine feminine and the menstrual cycle. Kamakhya Temple, Guwahati, Assam, India, November 2025.
