Assam's Chief Minister held a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss a comprehensive reconstruction strategy for districts that suffered severe flooding this season. The discussion focused on immediate relief measures, restoration of agricultural lands, and rebuilding of critical infrastructure such as roads, schools, and health centres.
