Union Home Minister Amit Shah has reached out to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma to offer help in dealing with the floods taking place in the northeast state. Shah has promised Sarma that the central government will provide all possible assistance to help those affected. In addition, the home minister tweeted that the Modi government stands firmly with the people of Assam during these difficult times.
The northeastern state has been hit by floods caused by heavy rains, with many areas under water and people forced to endure difficult conditions. The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) is already on the ground conducting relief and rescue operations, with additional forces on standby.
We understand the difficulties that the people of Assam are going through right now, and we are committed to doing everything in our power to help, said Shah. The safety and well-being of our citizens is our top priority, and we will not rest until the situation in Assam improves.
The floods in Assam have become an annual occurrence, with millions of people affected by them each year. The state government has been working to put in place measures to reduce the impact of the floods, including constructing embankments and building shelters for those displaced.
In addition to government efforts, various NGOs and civil society groups have also been working to provide assistance and support to those affected by the floods.
The floods in Assam have highlighted the need for greater investment in disaster preparedness and response. With climate change expected to fuel more extreme weather events, it is important for policymakers to take this issue seriously and plan accordingly.
As the situation in Assam remains uncertain, it is important for all stakeholders to come together and work towards a solution. By working together, we can ensure that the people of Assam receive the support and assistance they need during this challenging time.
