Debabrata Saikia has called on the Assam government to launch a special integrated rehabilitation project for the flood-hit Dikhow basin after severe flooding in Upper Assam. His demand focuses on a structured recovery plan rather than only short-term relief measures.
The appeal puts attention on the damage and disruption caused by repeated floods in the Dikhow basin area. With Upper Assam affected by heavy flooding, the demand suggests that local communities now need a broader rehabilitation effort aimed at restoring normal life and addressing long-term vulnerabilities.
Saikia has specifically urged the state to consider the project under DMFT and PMKKKY. By linking the proposal to these channels, he is pressing for a dedicated funding-backed response that can support a more coordinated recovery in the affected basin.
The issue adds to the wider debate over how Assam should respond to recurring flood crises in vulnerable regions. Saikia's proposal frames the Dikhow basin situation as one that requires an integrated rehabilitation model, with planning that goes beyond immediate emergency assistance.
