Himanta Biswa Sarma Reviews Flood Scenario In Kaziranga

The Chief Minister visited the inundated areas in Upper Assam in a speed boat and later interacted with people taking shelter in relief camps after a breach in the embankment from Negheriting-Rongagorah Duke to Nikori PWD Road. 

He also reviewed the flood scenario in the Kaziranga National Park, which has been extensively inundated after several years.

“We are providing adequate relief and rehabilitation to the affected people. Medical camps, food, including baby food, are being arranged for those staying in the relief camps while the officials have been directed to undertake repair of roads and embankments at the earliest. Hopefully, the situation will improve in the next few days,” Sarma told the media outside a relief camp.

The Chief Minister said district commissioners have been directed to prepare a list of houses completely or partially damaged so that compensation can be paid at the earliest.
