Relief Camps and Rescue Operations
The state government has established 52 relief camps and 103 relief distribution centres to support those displaced by the flood. Teams from the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) are actively engaged in rescue and relief operations in affected areas.
CM Himanta Biswa Sarma Assesses On-Ground Situation
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma visited Lakhimpur district, particularly Naoboicha, to interact with flood victims and oversee relief work. He assured residents of continued government support and reviewed the situation with officials from NEEPCO’s Ranganadi Power Plant. The flooding has worsened following the release of water from a dam in Arunachal Pradesh.
Infrastructure Damage and Rain Forecast
Floodwaters have caused extensive damage to embankments, roads, bridges, and public infrastructure. The Brahmaputra, along with its tributaries Dhansiri and Kopili, is flowing above the danger mark.
