People always remember those who extend a helping hand in times of need. The state administration is working around the clock to aid those affected by the floods,” said Dr. Saha at a relief distribution event at Bharat Mata Community Hall of East Kalabaria Gram Panchayat in Belonia.
The relief distribution and a mega health camp were organized by the Indian Red Cross Society. Relief materials were distributed to 200 flood-affected families.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Saha also mentioned that repair work on roads, drinking water sources, electricity services, and homes damaged by the flood is ongoing.

Financial aid of Rs 4 lakh has been provided to the families of those who lost their lives in the flood, while Rs 50,000 has been given to the injured. The nature of assistance doesn't matter; the willingness to help must be respected. Even children have donated their saved tiffin money to the Chief Minister's Relief Fund,” he added.
