Congress Sevadal Volunteers Join Flood Cleanup Drive in Nazira

NAZIRA, August 5, 2026 — A team of the All India Congress Sevadal on Monday joined flood recovery efforts in Nazira, where residents continue to struggle with the aftermath of the devastating Dikhow River floods.

Although floodwaters have receded, many affected areas remain buried under thick layers of silt, ranging from ankle to knee deep. Numerous families are still unable to return to their homes as mud and debris continue to hamper cleanup and restoration.

Led by All India Congress Sevadal Chief Organiser Srinivas B.V. and under the supervision of former Nazira MLA Debabrata Saikia, the 10-member Sevadal team carried out a voluntary shramdaan (community service) programme in Bihubar Nepali Khuti, one of the worst-affected villages.

The volunteers helped remove mud and debris from residential areas and cleared flood-damaged vehicles stranded in the locality. Their efforts were welcomed by residents, who have been engaged in the difficult task of cleaning their homes and surroundings since the floods receded.

Speaking on the occasion, Debabrata Saikia said recovery from such a major disaster requires collective effort and community participation. He stressed that cooperation among citizens, volunteers and organisations would help affected families rebuild their lives more quickly.
