Land Rover And Oxfam Extend Helping Hand To Flood-Hit Assam

Land Rover, in conjunction with Oxfam India provided relief to the flood affected areas of Karimgunj in Assam during the months of August and September 2017. Land Rover Discovery Sport vehicles were deployed into action to provide relief and support to these areas that saw tremendous damage to lives and livelihood.

The floods submerged 86 villages in five districts. Incessant rains across Assam led to massive disruption in the districts of Karimganj leaving people without access to basic amenities.

Speaking about the cause, Rohit Suri, President & Managing Director, Jaguar Land Rover India Ltd. (JLRIL) said that the Assam floods led to tremendous loss of life and property. Land Rover, along with Oxfam India helped provide immediate and critical relief to the affected parts.

The response program included providing shelter and distributing hygiene kits to the most vulnerable households; public health promotion events to promote safe hygiene practices and messages to ensure access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene; and improved protection to flood affected people, especially women.

Relief Rovers were in Karimganj to help over 2000 people suffering from the floods. Check out more videos below:
