When floods called, Majuli answered: 20 boats sail from Salmora to save Sivasagar

In a heartening display of solidarity amid Assam's ongoing flood crisis, residents of Salmora in Majuli district have voluntarily dispatched 20 country boats to neighbouring Sivasagar to support rescue and relief operations.

The initiative came after the Majuli district administration received a request from the Sivasagar district administration seeking additional boats to strengthen rescue efforts in flood-affected areas.

Responding promptly to the appeal, residents of Salmora came together to provide the boats, reinforcing inter-district cooperation during the humanitarian crisis.

The boats will be used to evacuate stranded residents to safer locations, carry out rescue operations in inundated villages, transport relief materials and enable emergency teams to access areas cut off by floodwaters.

Residents of Salmora said they are prepared to send more boats if required in the coming days, reaffirming their commitment to supporting flood-hit communities across the state.
