By *M. Burhanuddin Qasmi
Assam, the gateway to the northeastern seven sister states of India, is facing the natures? bang once again. The flood situation in Assam is grim, nearly 25 lakhs (2.5 million - Ro)people affected in the deluge and around 100 killed till 3rd July. Almost all the 27 districts of the state are hit by the second wave of floods that began on 26th June 2012.

For Assam the mighty Brahmaputra, though a life-giving river has become more synonymous with devastation than with prosperity. Every year the floods leave a trail of destruction, washing away villages, submerging paddy fields, drowning livestock, besides causing loss of human life and property cost in several billions.

Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and UPA Chairperson Ms. Sonia Gandhi undertook an aerial survey of the part of flood-hit areas of Jorhat, Dhemaji and world famous river-island Majoli. Later, on Monday (2 July) they have announced only Rs 500 crore-package for Assam which has been battling the worst floods since last one decade.
