Mumbai: News18 Assam-Northeast has recently launched a unique campaign ‘Fight the Flood - Stand with Assam,” urging viewers to donate to the chief minister's relief fund and accelerate rehabilitation.
Encouraging this initiative, Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has raised appreciation for creating a platform that raises this national concern for Assam.
Presently, Assam is struggling with the worst-ever flood of decades. Nearly 53.94 lakhs of people across its 32 districts have been severely impacted by the extreme water surge. Streets have turned into rivers, houses into relief camps, as villagers barely survive with zero availability of basic necessities such as food, water, and electricity for weeks.
To combat this misery, it is high time when we all should come together and join hands for the brothers & sisters of Assam. This special campaign focuses on in-depth reporting with hardcore facts and a total combat against fake news in the flood-stricken areas. It will highlight the unsung heroes, who work tirelessly to rehabilitate people trapped in the flood zone.
Let us stand together to help Assam tide over this difficult hour.
