Union Minister Chouhan visits flood affectet areas of Arunachal Pradesh

Union Minister for Agriculture & Farmers’ Welfare, and Rural Development, Shivraj Singh Chouhan arrived in Arunachal Pradesh on Monday, but was unable to undertake the scheduled aerial survey because of inclement weather. Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs and Minority Affairs Kiren Rijiju and Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu were with him.

Shri Chouhan met local residents face-to-face and listened to their grievances. He said that although adverse weather had prevented the helicopter from taking off, it had not weakened the government’s resolve. “The weather may have grounded the helicopter today, but it cannot stop our determination. Tomorrow, we will spend the entire day in the flood-affected regions of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam, assessing the situation from the ground as well as from the air so that every affected farmer and every affected family receives the assistance they need,” he said.(UPDATED ON 1ST JULY 2026)
