The Story in Brief
Assam’s flood death toll has reached 99, with the latest fatality reported from Golaghat district, says news agency PTI. Actor Kartik Aaryan donated Rs 1 crore to the Assam Chief Minister’s Relief Fund, while stand-up comedian Samay Raina gave Rs 10 lakh and singer Guru Randhawa gave Rs 5 lakh. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma thanked them on X. Actor Randeep Hooda distributed rations and essentials on the ground in Sivasagar district with the group Global Sikhs, and served langar at the railway station. Anupam Kher, Alia Bhatt, and Ayushmann Khurrana with Tahira Kashyap publicly appealed for donations and support.
The Indian Opinion
The celebrity chorus is welcome, but Assam’s annual flood disaster has become a grisly routine: 99 dead this year, yet the response often seems reactive. Donations to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund are constructive, but public attention should also stay on long term rehabilitation, embankment repair, and early warning systems. Will the state government publish a district wise breakdown of how these crores are spent before the next monsoon?
