Today, during the Question Hour in the Assam Legislative Assembly, I urged the Hon'ble Revenue Minister to review and amend the existing guidelines governing the grant of ex gratia assistance to victims of accidents and natural calamities, so that deserving families receive timely and adequate support.

I am encouraged that the Hon'ble Speaker appreciated the importance of this issue, and the Hon'ble Minister responded positively, assuring the House that the matter would be given due consideration. I remain committed to raising issues that directly impact the welfare and well-being of the people of Assam.

Due to the Assembly session, I was in Guwahati yesterday. However, my team visited Putabhog village under Ganakdoloni Panchayat in my Bihpuria constituency and distributed financial assistance and essential relief materials to flood-affected families on my behalf.

The ₹6 crore geo-tube embankment project along the Sesha River is progressing steadily. I am hopeful that once completed, it will provide lasting protection to Putabhog and greatly reduce the threat of floods and erosion in the coming years.

Even when official responsibilities keep me away, my commitment to the people of Bihpuria remains unwavering.

Mahapurush Srimanta Sankardev and Mahapurush Sri Sri Madhavdev are not merely figures of the past. Their timeless creations, values, and philosophy continue to guide our present and inspire our future.

Today, I had the opportunity to raise this important issue in the Assam Legislative Assembly and offered a few constructive suggestions to the Government for the preservation, promotion, and wider dissemination of their invaluable cultural and spiritual legacy, so as to enhance the knowledge and awareness of the present and future generations.

Today, I had the privilege of meeting Hon'ble Health Minister Shri Ashok Singhal Dangoriya and submitted a detailed list of vacancies in various hospitals across my Bihpuria constituency.

I am pleased to share that his response was very positive. He has assured me that he will visit Bihpuria constituency soon to assess the situation firsthand and take note of the requirements. I look forward to working closely with him to further improve our healthcare infrastructure and services.

Yesterday, I had the privilege of inaugurating the valedictory ceremony of the Summer Bhaona Workshop, organised by Madhavdev Natya Gosthi at Letekupukhuri, the sacred birthplace of Mahapurush Srimanta Madhavdev.

Bhaona, introduced by Mahapurush Srimanta Madhavdev, is far more than a traditional theatrical art form—it is a timeless embodiment of our spiritual heritage, cultural identity, and enduring values. Workshops like these play a vital role in inspiring the younger generation to embrace our rich traditions while ensuring the preservation and continued growth of this invaluable legacy.

I extend my heartfelt appreciation and best wishes to the organisers, mentors, artists, and all the participants for their dedicated efforts in nurturing and promoting our cherished cultural heritage.

A major flood and erosion protection project has commenced along the vulnerable stretches of the Checha River under Simoluguri-Ganakdalani Panchayat. The project, with an estimated cost of around ₹6 crore, involves the installation of geo tubes over a stretch of nearly 4 kilometres to provide a long-term solution to the recurring problem of flood and riverbank erosion.

Today, I visited the project site along with the Executive Engineer, departmental officials of the Water Resources Department, and representatives of the Panchayat to review the progress of the work. During the inspection, I emphasized the importance of maintaining high quality standards and ensuring the timely completion of the project.

Our government remains committed to protecting the lives and livelihoods of the people by implementing sustainable measures to mitigate the impact of floods and riverbank erosion.

This morning, I had the pleasure of meeting Master Barua Maneet Kashyap, a talented young archer from Madhupur village in my Bihpuria constituency, at my Guwahati residence.

At less than 10 years of age, Maneet has already made Assam proud by winning a Silver Medal at the national level, besides securing several medals in state-level competitions. His exceptional talent, dedication, and passion for archery at such a young age are truly admirable.

With the dream of representing India on the international stage, Maneet sought my support to procure a high-performance competition archery set, which costs more than ₹4 lakh.

I assured him of my wholehearted support and every possible assistance in helping him pursue his dream. I extend my best wishes to this young talent and firmly believe that one day he will bring greater glory to both Assam and the nation through his achievements.

The character of the various north bank tributaries of the Brahmaputra has changed significantly over the years due to deforestation and frequent landslides in the upper catchments of Arunachal Pradesh. As a result, heavy silt deposition has reduced the carrying capacity of these rivers, making them wider and increasing the risk of floods and erosion.

During my speech in the Assam Legislative Assembly, I highlighted this critical issue and urged the Government to take long-term measures for sustainable river management and flood mitigation.

I sincerely thank Hon'ble Water Resources Minister Sri Sushanta Borguhain for his positive response on the floor of the House. I am confident that our Government, under the leadership of Hon'ble Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma, will take the necessary steps to address this long-standing concern in the interest of the people of Assam.

He listened attentively to our concerns and assured us of the Government's full support in safeguarding the interests of small tea growers and taking the necessary steps for their overall welfare and development.

I sincerely express my gratitude to Hon'ble Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma for his positive response and unwavering commitment to the welfare and progress of Assam's small tea growers.
