Congress Leader Urges Assam Rights Commission to Probe Flood Relief Distribution
Senior Congress leader Debabrata Saikia has urged the Assam Human Rights Commission to investigate alleged failures in flood relief distribution following the July 2026 floods in Upper Assam. Over seven lakh people were displaced and more than 100 died, but Saikia claims genuine victims were excluded from relief and compensation lists, while ineligible individuals received aid. He accused authorities of distributing relief based on political considerations, causing hardship for affected families in districts including Sivasagar, Nazira, Charaideo, and Jorhat.
