A 103-year-old woman from Sonitpur district has set an inspiring example of compassion and humanity by extending financial assistance to families affected by the recent floods in Assam’s Sivasagar district.
Smt. Konaklata Das, a resident of Majraimari village in Chirajuli, personally visited the office of the Sivasagar Deputy Commissioner after learning about the difficulties faced by residents of the Amguri Bagan area following the recent floods.
She met Sivasagar Deputy Commissioner Mridul Yadav and donated Rs 2,000 each to 77 flood-affected families, using money from her lifelong savings.
