Umrangso
Umrangso is an industrial town in the Dima Hasao district of Assam, located near the border with Meghalaya, about 112 kilometers from Haflong, the district headquarters. The town’s name means "red color water" in the Khasi language, referring to the reddish tint of water in the area.
Umrangso is known for its beautiful artificial lake formed by a dam built on the Kopili River by NEEPCO, which also supports hydroelectric power projects contributing significantly to the region's energy supply. The area is rich in biodiversity and attracts tourists with sites like the Amur Falcon roosting grounds, which host a festival in October and November celebrating the migratory birds. Despite its natural beauty, the region has experienced insurgency-related violence in the past, although peace has improved in recent years with government interventions.
Umrangso offers a blend of industrial significance, scenic landscapes, and cultural richness within Assam's hill district.
