The Union government has approved construction of 386,000 houses and a fund of ₹140 crore to aid flood‑affected families in Assam.
New Delhi has given the green light for a large‑scale relief package aimed at the flood‑hit districts of Assam. The central government will fund the construction of 386,000 houses for families whose homes were destroyed or severely damaged during the recent floods. In addition, a cash allocation of ₹140 crore has been earmarked to support rehabilitation and reconstruction activities.
The approval comes as part of the government's broader disaster‑management response, seeking to provide permanent shelter and basic amenities to the affected populace. State officials are expected to coordinate with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs to roll out the housing scheme in the coming weeks.
The funding will also cover essential infrastructure repairs, such as road restoration and water‑sanitation facilities, to accelerate the return to normalcy in the region. The central assistance complements the state’s own relief measures and underscores the collaborative effort to mitigate the long‑term impact of the floods.
