New Delhi, 25th June. Union Home Minister Amit Shah spoke with Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and assured him of all possible Central assistance in dealing with the state’s flood issue.

Shah further stated that the Modi government is committed to the people of Assam, as it has always been.

“Due to heavy rain, the people in parts of Assam are braving a flood-like situation. I have spoken to CM Shri @himantabiswa Ji and assured all possible assistance. NDRF teams are already on the ground conducting relief and rescue operations and adequate forces are on standby,” he tweeted.

The flood condition in Assam remained grim on Sunday, with over four lakh people hit by the deluge across nine districts, even though water levels started to recede, an official said.

So far, three persons have lost their lives in this year’s first wave of flood in different parts of the state, the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) official said.

According to an ASDMA report, the deluge has affected about 4,07,700 people in the districts of Baksa, Barpeta, Darrang, Dhubri, Goalpara, Kamrup, Lakhimpur, Nalbari, and Udalguri.
