The camps established at Pithubor Girls’ Higher Secondary School and Khowang Higher Secondary School are currently accommodating 173 and 380 individuals affected by the floods.
During his inspection, Sarma assessed the daily essentials being given to the residents of the camp.
He also instructed the district authorities to guarantee the provision of necessary items such as medical services, clean drinking water, and clothing for the flood victims.
Additionally, the chief minister assured the displaced residents that the government would not only distribute relief materials but also take swift action to repair or rebuild homes damaged by the flooding.
This commitment is aimed at expediting the process of returning affected families to their residences once flood waters recede.
