Coal Miners' Association Calls for Verified Information on Assam-Nagaland Floods
The Tuli Area Coal Mining Contractors' Association (TACMCA) urged residents of Assam and Nagaland to avoid unverified claims about the causes of recent floods and landslides that killed at least 115 people and damaged infrastructure. TACMCA attributed the disaster primarily to exceptionally heavy rainfall in Nagaland on July 18, leading to flash floods across several districts. The association emphasized multiple factors contribute to such natural calamities and highlighted that Nagaland also suffered significant damage, cautioning against blaming any single activity or community.
