Assam Government to Verify Flood Relief Funds Raised by 72 YouTubers
The Assam government, led by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, announced it will verify flood relief funds raised by 72 YouTubers from Assam and beyond to ensure the money reached affected families and was properly used. While appreciating the efforts of content creators like Assam-based Samay Gogoi, authorities aim to prevent duplication of aid and confirm fund utilization. The Assam Police Cyber Cell is monitoring related accounts, and verified contributors may be honoured with traditional gamosas after account verification.
