Assam CM says, if reporters stop writing on both sides and hand over the key to us, we will solve the city's artificial flood...


Digital Desk: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday called for assistance from media personnel in the city of Guwahati, which is currently suffering from manmade floods.


"If the journalists promise not to report, then we will carry out the eviction drives," CM Sarma added. They have the answers to Guwahati's flash flood problem. "We will address the city's artificial flood problem if the reporters cease writing on both sides and hand over the key," he added.


He went on to say how difficult it is to handle the water logging problem in Anil Nagar and Nabin Nagar. 


He went on to explain, "Prevention of flash floods in Anil Nagar and Nabin Nagar is not such an easy task, however, we have bought pumps and started the water receding works."


"People are building houses by encroaching the wetlands and in addition, we are unable to construct drains because of the hills, and railway lines in many places," he further added.


"Furthermore, people have encroached upon the drain from Apsara to Nandan Hotel via Barsala but now if we begin the eviction drives, the reporters will say that the houses of the indigenous people have been demolished," CM Sarma added.
