Restoration work has achieved around 90 per cent progress at Kakodonga, while repairs at Charaipani and other affected locations have crossed 60 per cent completion

As per the Assam CM, the use of geo bags and geo tubes has accelerated the restoration process and helped engineers close critical breaches in embankments more effectively

Application of modern methods like geo bags and geo tubes has sped up the work and is helping us close the critical gaps. We are standing by every affected family until normalcy is restored," Sarma said

Earlier on Thursday, the Assam CM had also said that the state has demanded a support package from the Centre for relief and rehabilitation of the people ravaged by an unprecedented flood

He added that relief materials and essential assistance continue to reach flood-hit communities across the state as the government works to restore normal life in affected districts.
