Wall to check soil erosion in Assam (the video is loading, may take long. Please bear with us...)

Efforts are being made to save the world's largest river island Majuli from erosion of its embankments, and continuous siltation that threatens to wipe away a large island settlement on the river Brahmaputra in Assam. A concrete wall is being constructed to check the rapid flow of water that has been causing incessant erosion reducing the island to half of its size.
