Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi today met Union Home
Minister Rajnath Singh in New Delhi and sought an interim relief of Rs. 500
crore for relief, rehabilitation and repair works in flood-affected areas
across the state.
"We need Rs. 500 crore as an interim relief from the
Centre," Gogoi said.
Gogoi lamented the Centre has not released the amount that
the state government sought after floods last year.
The Centre has released Rs 207 crore for conducting relief
and rehabilitation of people affected in the current floods in Assam, Jitendra
Singh, union minister for development of Northeastern Region (DoNER) said on
Tuesday.
Singh said this sum was otherwise due for release in
December, but the Centre had released it four months in advance in view of the
devastation caused by the current waves of floods in the state.
