He extended condolences to the victims’ families during a meeting in Gelapukhuri, Assam, and wished a quick recovery for the lone survivor currently receiving treatment. An additional Rs 1 lakh was allocated from the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund for the survivor’s medical expenses. The tragic accident occurred on December 8 when a truck carrying 21 workers from Tinsukia skidded off a mountain road and fell into a gorge; search operations led by multiple agencies successfully retrieved the bodies. Sarma directed the District Commissioner to ensure that bereaved families not covered by the Orunodoi scheme receive benefits, and emphasized the need to support the education of the deceased workers’ children.
