Cinema VinesActor Randeep Hooda has stepped onto the frontlines of Assam’s ongoing flood crisis, joining an NGO’s relief distribution effort in Sivasagar. The floods, which began on July 19, have submerged 14,230.15 hectares of farmland and left more than 55,000 animals displaced, with an additional 35,000 affected. Hooda’s team is working to deliver kitchen essentials to families still trapped in rising waters.
In a video posted to Instagram on Tuesday, Hooda walked through knee‑deep water on a boat, handing out kitchen sets to a house and noting that even after ten days the water remains above the knees. He explained that the supplies from the first trip were exhausted and that a second trip would be necessary to reach those who could not get to the distribution points. “There are many families inside who are calling us, and we have no more items left in this trip,” he said in the caption, urging the public to contribute to relief efforts.
The flood‑hit district of Sivasagar has been the worst affected, with over 55,000 people impacted, followed by 40,000 in Charaideo and 22,000 in Jorhat. The Assam administration has set up 54 relief camps across five districts, currently serving 13,771 people. Meanwhile, 15,422 hectares of farmland remain underwater, and the Dhansiri River at Numaligarh in Golaghat district is flowing above danger level.
In response, the state government released a first tranche of approximately ₹160 crore in interim relief money to more than 75,000 households most severely affected by the floods. Hooda’s involvement, along with the Global Sikh team’s identification of needs—kitchen utensils, sandals, and daily essentials—highlights the coordinated effort to provide immediate aid to those still in distress.
Hooda’s social media caption called on the public to unite and help the people of Assam, emphasizing that every contribution can aid in supplying food, shelter, and essential supplies to the flood‑affected communities. The actor’s on‑ground presence underscores the urgency of the situation and the need for continued support as the state works to recover from this devastating natural disaster.
