Guwahati, June 3, 2025 — Prime Minister Narendra Modi today spoke directly with Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma regarding the severe flooding affecting the state. During the call, the Prime Minister assured complete assistance from the central government to help manage the ongoing disaster.
Assam is currently experiencing widespread flooding due to heavy and persistent monsoon rains, impacting numerous districts. The floods have displaced thousands and caused significant damage to homes, roads, and agricultural lands.
In the discussion, PM Modi committed to providing necessary support, including the deployment of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and financial resources to aid relief efforts. The Chief Minister updated the Prime Minister on the emergency response underway, including evacuation measures and distribution of essential supplies to affected residents.
The Assam government is actively coordinating relief camps and working closely with central agencies to ensure swift delivery of aid. Experts emphasize that the state’s geographical challenges, particularly in the Brahmaputra basin, call for ongoing collaboration and improved flood mitigation strategies beyond immediate relief.
As the monsoon season progresses, officials continue to monitor water levels and weather forecasts closely. The joint efforts of the state and central governments aim to minimize the impact on vulnerable communities and restore normal conditions as quickly as possible.
