Umrongso is an industrial town and a town area committee in Dima Hasao district in the state of Assam, India. It is located at the border of Assam and Meghalaya states some 112 km from Haflong, the district headquarters of Dima Hasao district of Assam.
Located on the River Kopili in the Dima Hasao District of Assam, the Kopili Hydro Electric Project was the maiden venture of NEEPCO when it came into existence in 1976. The first stage of Kopili Hydro Electric Plant has two numbers of dam and dyke systems for creating two reservoirs, one on the Kopili River and the other on the Umrong stream, a tributary of the Kopili. Water from the Kopili reservoir is utilised in the Khandong power station through a 2852 metre long tunnel to generate 50 MW (2 X 25 MW) of power. The tail water from this powerhouse is led to the Umrong reservoir. The water from Umrong reservoir is taken through a 5473 metre long tunnel to the Kopili power station to generate 200 MW (4 X 50 MW) of power.
The first stage extension of the Plant envisaged setting up two additional 50 MW units at Kopili power station, provisions for which were already kept during the first stage development of the project. The Units III and IV under this extension scheme were commissioned in March, 1997 and June, 1997 respectively. The total installed capacity of the Kopili power station thus went up to 200 MW and that of the project as whole to 250 MW. The raising of the Umrong reservoir by 7.6 m was taken up to meet the demand for more water for two additional 50 MW units of first stage extension.
In the North Cachar Hill District of Assam, there is the waterfall of Panimoor which is a famous tourist spot. Situated about 120 km away from Haflong, the Kopili River is obstructed by stones, but yet it turns into a gushing milky white waterfall at this spot called Panimur and is indeed an ethereal beauty. The panoramic view of the scenery attracts a number of nature lovers and photographers into this place. There is a Forest Inspection Bungalow in this place, which can house a few tourists but needs to be booked in advance, especially in the tourist season. Panimoor is the only hill station of the district, and thus, favoured by a number of tourists, especially during winter and spring. The Panimur fall also causes flood in the lower lands during the monsoons.
