NPCC urges state, Centre to step up aid for flood-affected Tizit

Dimapur, July 24 (MExN): The Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) on July 24 expressed deep concern over the devastating floods in Mon district's Tizit area and urged the state and central governments to immediately intensify relief and rehabilitation efforts for the affected people.

In a statement, the NPCC's Communication Department said the floods had severely affected Tizit Town, Tizit Village and Lapalampong Village. 

According to the party, nearly 800 households in Tizit Town alone have been affected, with homes, schools, hostels, shops, tea gardens, cultivated land and livestock either washed away or extensively damaged, triggering a humanitarian crisis.

The Congress alleged that despite the scale of the disaster, the affected people have not received adequate relief or assistance.

It said the immediate priority should be to save lives and provide shelter, food, clean drinking water, medicines, clothing and restore essential services in the affected areas.

The NPCC urged the Nagaland government, the State Disaster Management Authority and all concerned agencies to undertake comprehensive relief and rehabilitation measures without delay. It also appealed to the Centre to extend all possible assistance to help affected families rebuild their lives.

Expressing solidarity with the victims, the party conveyed its condolences and prayers for those who have suffered losses and called upon civil society organisations, churches, NGOs, businesses and individuals to contribute relief materials, financial assistance and voluntary services to support the affected communities.
