Flood creates havoc in Northeast India

Nisha Sethia

Relentless rainfall has created havoc in the North Eastern states of India. The states of Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh have been badly hit. Earthquake in Assam during 1950 raised the bed of the Brahmaputra, and floods began to threaten the environment.

Flood in Assam is a regular feature. The only things that have changed from year to year are the number of people affected, crores in relief, number of deaths.

Speaking at event Dr. Lyngdoh said that the main objective of this Week’s observation is to address the problems of malnutrition of mother and child which is prevalent in the State. She also said that that most mothers have this misconception that nutrition is associated with money and can be bought in the market, hence it is crucial for parents to take special care of their child in the first 24 months. She also reminded the social workers that they too have an equally important role to play to educate mothers on the importance of breastfeeding the child for the first six months because breast-milk is one of the most nutritious feed for the infants. she appeal to all young workers to take this opportunity to go to their respective places of work and chalk out programmes and activities which can help mothers understand the significance of a healthy and balanced diet.

 

 Others resource person were  Deputy Director of Social Welfare Department Smti Karuna Lamar and Demonstration Officer-II, CFNEU, Shillong Shri S B Singh.
