Good to see CM Sarma taking personal interest in flood relief efforts. But I hope this isn't just for optics - we've seen many politicians visit disaster sites only for photo ops. The real test is whether rehabilitation happens properly in the coming months. 🤞

As someone from Assam, I appreciate the quick response from both state and central governments. Floods are annual nightmare for us, but at least this time relief seems more organized. Hope they focus on long-term solutions too - we can't keep doing this every monsoon!

Why does North-East always get attention only during disasters? We need permanent infrastructure development, better flood control measures and economic opportunities. Temporary relief is good but not enough ji!

My heart goes out to all affected families. Lost my home in 2012 floods - know exactly how traumatic this is. Request everyone to donate to genuine relief organizations. And government should ensure aid reaches all, not just those near cities.

Positive to see coordination between state and center. But what about neighboring states? Floods don't respect borders - Bangladesh is also affected. Should have regional cooperation on water management. #BrahmaputraBasin

Hope they're providing proper sanitation and medical facilities in relief camps. Last time, many suffered from waterborne diseases after floods. And special care needed for elderly and children. Stay strong Assam! 💪
