The Chief Minister of Nagaland has firmly rejected claims made by Akhil Gogoi, clarifying that the Dikhu Project has no causal connection to the recent flooding in Upper Assam.
The Chief Minister of Nagaland has issued a clarification regarding recent allegations linking the Dikhu Project to the floods that affected Upper Assam. In a direct response to claims made by Akhil Gogoi, the CM stated that the assertions are factually incorrect and misleading.
The government emphasized that the Dikhu Project is a distinct infrastructure initiative and does not share a hydrological or operational link with the water levels in the Brahmaputra or its tributaries in Assam that led to the recent flooding. The CM urged the public to rely on official data rather than unverified political narratives.
This clarification comes amidst ongoing political discourse regarding regional infrastructure and disaster management. The Nagaland administration maintains that the project was designed with specific local objectives and has undergone standard regulatory approvals, independent of the flood issues faced by neighboring states.
