Katigorah Flood Victims Hold Mass Prayer: Hundreds Take to Boats to Pray to Allah for Relief

In a bid to seek divine intervention amidst one of the worst floods the region has witnessed, hundreds of flood-affected residents of Katigorah in Cachar district gathered for a mass prayer. Last evening amidst the rising waters, the believers of the Islamic faith took to boats to offer their prayers to the almighty Allah. The state is grappling with a severe deluge, with many rivers and streams overflowing.

The flood situation has become increasingly critical, especially in the rural and remote parts of Barak Valley. The third major flood of the year has wreaked havoc on the normal life of the residents here. In Cachar alone, approximately one and a half lakh people are finding themselves trapped in floodwaters. Many are anxiously watching the water levels rise, fearing the worst for their homes and livelihoods. In such dire circumstances, the people of Barak Valley are turning to faith as their only solace.

On Friday evening, hundreds of flood victims in Katigorah’s Tarinipur have come together to organize a collective prayer. The flood has already submerged nearly a hundred villages in the area, causing widespread devastation. In an extraordinary scene, villagers gathered in boats, reciting verses from the Holy Quran before collectively praying to Allah. Their prayers are filled with hope and desperation, seeking protection for their cherished villages and the entire Barak Valley from the devastating floods.

This collective act of faith underscores the resilience and unity of the people of Barak Valley as they face one of the most challenging times in their history. The community’s reliance on spiritual strength highlights their hope for relief and recovery from the natural disaster that has upended their lives.
