Prime Minister Narendra Modi has assured full support from the Centre to the northeastern states battling devastating floods and landslides caused by relentless rains. According to officials on Tuesday, PM Modi personally spoke with Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, Sikkim Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang, and Manipur Governor Ajay Bhalla to assess the grim situation unfolding across the region.
The Prime Minister pledged all possible assistance to the affected states, reaffirming the Centre’s commitment to help state governments manage rescue and relief efforts efficiently. The situation remains dire, with the death toll climbing to 36 as of Monday. Over 5.5 lakh people have been impacted across Assam, Sikkim, Manipur, and neighbouring areas due to widespread inundation and rain-induced landslides.
As rivers overflow and connectivity remains disrupted, rescue operations continue across multiple fronts. The government is monitoring the crisis closely, with emergency services and disaster management teams deployed to high-risk zones. The Centre’s promise of comprehensive aid comes at a critical time as affected families and communities brace for further rainfall in the coming days.
