Guwahati, Sept 7 (IBNS) : Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Monday directed all the Deputy Commissioners (DC’s) to ensure that there is no shortfall of food, medicines and other essentials for the flood victims areas and asked the respective departmental heads of the district to report to the administration of any shortfall for the administration to act hurriedly.

Gogoi called Chief Secretary VK Pipersenia  and Commissioner and Secretary, Revenue and Disaster Management Promod Tiwari and directed them for possible governmental intervention where the flood victims are facing any encumbrances like shortage of food, medicine, drinking water etc.

He also asked them to see and take necessary steps if anybody in the relief camps suffering from any disease and extend medical facilities.

Moreover, direction has been given to look after the medical health of pregnant women, lactating mothers and babies.

Gogoi asked the District administration to reach out to the flood victims and provide all relief and rehabilitation measure.

Meanwhile, Gogoi deprecated the BJP leaders for indulging in petty politics to achieve narrow political gain.

“While Assam is reeling under flood where around 17 lakh people are affected, the BJP leaders instead of helping the flood victims are shedding crocodile tears and indulging in mud-slinging business to destabilise the Government,” Gogoi said.
