Akhil Gogoi Protests Pending Flood Relief as Assam CM Criticizes His Actions
Akhil Gogoi, Raijor Dal president and Sivasagar MLA, began an indefinite protest on Gandhi Jayanti demanding pending flood relief payments in Assam. He alleges the government missed its October 1 deadline to disburse financial aid to affected families, seeking Rs 15,000 interim assistance and Rs 10 lakh compensation for major losses. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma criticized Gogoi's protest as "childish politics," asserting relief efforts are underway for 55,000 families. Gogoi vowed to continue his agitation until demands are met.
