In a meeting convened by Union Minister of Water Resources Uma Bharti with DoNER Minister Gen (retd) VK Singh, Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju and myself to take stock of the devastating floods in Assam and Meghalaya. The Minister for Water Resources (MoWR) is likely to tour the affected areas of the State before October 30. We were of the view that the Brahmaputra Board has failed to discharge its responsibility and all its efforts at managing floods has come a cropper. I updated the Union Minister of Water Resources Smt. Uma Bharti about the problems faced on account of flood wreaked by Brahmaputra and Barak rivers and its tributaries. He mentioned about the floods leaving lakhs of people homeless, destruction of crops and erosion. The meeting also discussed creation of a separate organisation for flood and erosion management assamtribune/scripts/detailsnew.asp?id=sep2414/at055
