India fortifies Kahua River embankment amid Feni flood concerns
IN · Published Nov 8, 2026
• India has initiated urgent reinforcement of the Kahua River embankment near Belonia, Tripura, to mitigate potential monsoon flooding along the Feni River.
• Concrete blocks are being installed on the Indian side, while repairs on the Bangladeshi side remain incomplete, raising concerns among local residents.

Impact & Risks

Thousands of families in North Kolapara, South Kolapara, Baspadua, and Parshuram Bazar are at risk of severe flooding and erosion if the Bangladeshi embankment is not adequately repaired. The disparity in embankment height and strength between the Indian and Bangladeshi sides increases pressure on the weaker Bangladeshi bank, making it more susceptible to collapse. Key infrastructure, including the Mazarbari Mosque and nearby graveyard, could be severely affected, along with residential areas and agricultural lands.
