Outrage Erupts: Congress MP Rakibul Hussain Slams Centre’s Apathy at Disaster Management Bill Review Meeting
In a pivotal review meeting in New Delhi regarding the “Disaster Management Amendment Bill,” Congress MP Rakibul Hussain brought attention to the persistent challenge of flood erosion in Assam. Speaking candidly, Hussain lambasted central authorities for their apparent failure to grasp the extent of devastation inflicted by the Brahmaputra River.
Hussain’s criticism was pointed and direct, accusing the government of neglecting the harsh realities faced by Assam due to flood erosion. He emphasized that this oversight has only intensified the crisis, portraying a picture of disregard and unawareness at the national level.
In a significant revelation during the briefing, officials from the Central Disaster Management Department disclosed that they had not received any reports from the Assam government regarding the erosion issue. This admission highlighted a critical gap in communication and coordination between the state and central bodies, compounding the challenge of addressing the disaster effectively.
Hussain’s statements underscore a crucial disconnect and call for immediate and coherent action to address the flood erosion problem that continues to plague Assam.
