New Delhi, November 01 2017:
The Centre has sanctioned Rs 200 crore for reconstruction works in the four flood-affected North Eastern States of Assam, Nagaland, Manipur and Mizoram .
Minister of State for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) Jitendra Singh said the amount was sanctioned by the Central Government as the region has faced massive floods this year .
The North East had witnessed unprecedented floods as a result of which the damage was colossal and the relief and rehabilitation operations were disrupted, he said in a statement here .
During his visit to the North East in August, to review the flood situation in the four States, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced a flood relief package of Rs 2,000 crore .
Singh said a high-level committee had also been constituted to monitor the flood-related operations and plan a future roadmap to avoid such situations.
