Dibrugarh: A 300-doctor medical lifeline is being readied for flood-ravaged Upper Assam as relief efforts pivot toward disease prevention and sustained health care.RSS and Seva Bharati volunteers have evacuated nearly 1,000 people from remote hamlets over the past week and supplied food, drinking water and sanitation items to around 4,200 families. Medical camps have also been organised.Dibrugarh RSS member Abhijit Phukan on Wednesday said doctors from across the state would be deployed next week. “In the coming week, 300 doctors from across Assam, including 50 from Dibrugarh, will reach every village and taluka of the flood-hit districts,” Phukan said. The Dibrugarh team will be led by Dr Srimanta Madhab Baruah, with its focus on medical care and sanitation.Using small boats, teams have ferried cooked food, safe drinking water, medicines, tarpaulins and hygiene supplies to marooned households while moving elderly people, women, children and the sick to safer ground.Operations have covered Betbari, Kakati Gaon, D-Gaon, No. 2 Kunwar Gaon, Chetia Kaivarta Gaon, Sundar Pukhuri, Bamun Pukhuri, Geleki and Rajabari in Sivasagar, as well as Alengmora, Katiram Chuk, Kulai Chuk, Nalia Chuk, Senchowa Chuk and Charigharia Chuk in Jorhat.RSS functionaries said waterborne diseases, contaminated water sources and untreated injuries could emerge as major threats after evacuations and immediate food relief stabilise. The planned deployment marks a shift from emergency rescue to a sustained public health response.The RSS said its effort would continue “guided by the ideal of Nar Seva Hi Narayan Seva.”
