Assam needs a comprehensive and compassionate vision: Rahul

Rahul Gandhi tweeted:

"The extreme devastation caused by flooding in Assam is heartbreaking - with innocent children like 8-year old Avinash being taken away from us.

My heartfelt condolences to all the bereaved families across the State.

Assam Congress leaders apprised me of the situation on ground:

60+ deaths

53,000+ displaced

24,00,000 affected

"Assam needs a comprehensive and compassionate vision- proper relief, rehabilitation, and compensation in the short term, and a pan-Northeast water management authority to do everything necessary to control floods in the long term."
