PM, Sonia to visit flood-hit Assam
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress President Sonia Gandhi on July 2 will visit the affected areas in Assam where floods and landslides have so far claimed at least 77 lives. Singh and Gandhi are expected to reach Jorhat by a special flight and conduct an aerial survey of Majuli Island, which has suffered serious damage in the flood. They are likely to hold talks with ministers and senior state government officials before returning to Delhi.
