Union Minister for Agriculture & Farmers’ Welfare, and Rural Development, Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan arrived in Arunachal Pradesh on Monday, but was unable to undertake the scheduled aerial survey because of inclement weather.
He will now carry out an extensive ground and aerial inspection of the flood-affected areas of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam on July 1, spending the entire day assessing the situation of affected farmers and other families.
At a review meeting held at the Itanagar Secretariat, Shri Chouhan discussed the prevailing flood situation, availability and distribution of relief materials, and ongoing rehabilitation measures.
