DISGRACEFUL🚨: Assam Govt’s Orunodoi Flood Relief Hoardings Trigger Political Row Across Guwahati The Assam Government has come under criticism after advertising hoardings promoting the additional ₹2,500 Orunodoi assistance for flood-affected beneficiaries were installed across parts of Guwahati, including the Six Mile area.
The special financial assistance has been announced for eligible beneficiaries in Sivasagar, Charaideo, Jorhat and Golaghat, following the recent floods. Assam Government, Orunodoi Scheme, Himanta Biswa Sarma, Flood Relief, Guwahati, Six Mile, Sivasagar, Jorhat, Golaghat, Charaideo, the hoardings have sparked a political debate, with critics questioning the timing of the publicity while many flood-affected families are still recovering from the disaster.
The government has announced an additional one-time ₹2,500 for eligible Orunodoi beneficiaries in the four Upper Assam districts, over and above the regular monthly assistance. Officials have also stated that assessment of flood-related damages is scheduled to begin from August 5, as relief and rehabilitation efforts continue.
However, the installation of promotional banners has drawn criticism from opposition leaders and several social media users, who argue that the focus should remain on rehabilitation and support for affected families rather than publicity. Supporters of the government, meanwhile, say the hoardings help inform beneficiaries about the additional assistance available to them. .. .. ..
