The Story in Brief
Chhattisgarh chief minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Sunday announced Rs 5 crore assistance for relief and rehabilitation in flood-hit Assam. Sai spoke to Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma over the phone to take stock of the situation, an official statement said. "In this difficult time, the people of Chhattisgarh stand with their brothers and sisters in Assam with deep empathy and solidarity," Sai said.
The aid aims to support families, rehabilitation and restoration work, the statement added. Assam continues to grapple with flooding that has disrupted normal life in several areas. Hindustan Times reports Sai prayed to Maa Kamakhya for peace and normalcy to return.
The Indian Opinion
Sending money is the easy part. The real test for Assam's relief machinery is whether this Rs 5 crore, plus whatever more arrives, reaches families whose homes and fields are under water. Floods hit Assam every year, yet compensation is always slow. Will Himanta Biswa Sarma's government publish a district-wise list of beneficiaries and disbursement timelines? That is the only number that will show if solidarity actually worked.
