Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan has contributed ₹1 crore to the Assam Chief Minister's Relief Fund to support people affected by the floods in the state. His contribution has been acknowledged by the Assam government and widely appreciated by members of the public.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma publicly thanked Kartik Aaryan for the contribution, stating that it would be significant for the ongoing relief efforts.
In recent months, severe floods in several districts of Assam have affected the lives of millions of people. Heavy rainfall and rising river levels have disrupted normal life across many areas. The financial assistance provided by Kartik Aaryan is expected to support relief and rehabilitation efforts.
The Assam Chief Minister's Office shared information about the donation through its official social media platform, stating that Kartik Aaryan had contributed ₹1 crore to the Chief Minister's Relief Fund. In its statement, the government appreciated the actor's timely assistance and sensitivity toward those affected by the floods.
According to the government statement, the contribution will help deliver relief to flood-affected families, provide essential resources, and accelerate rehabilitation work. The state government described the donation as an example of humanitarian support.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma also expressed his personal gratitude to the actor, stating that Kartik Aaryan's contribution was important for the people of Assam and would strengthen relief operations. In his message, the Chief Minister said that when influential members of society come forward during times of crisis, they not only provide financial assistance but also boost the morale of those affected. He described the actor's gesture as inspiring.
Assam is facing the impact of a natural disaster, with the state experiencing floods during the monsoon season. This year, the situation has been reported to be more severe in several areas. Continuous rainfall and overflowing rivers have forced thousands of families to move to safer locations. Several villages, roads, and agricultural areas have also been affected.
The state administration, the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), local voluntary organisations, and various agencies are engaged in relief operations. Efforts are continuing to provide food, safe drinking water, medicines, and other essential supplies to affected people. During such circumstances, support from private institutions, social organisations, and public figures plays an important role in strengthening relief efforts.
Kartik Aaryan's contribution comes at a time when several prominent personalities from the entertainment industry are expressing support for people affected by the floods in Assam. Actress Alia Bhatt, actor Bhumi Pednekar, and singer Papon are among the artists who have appealed to the public to contribute to relief efforts.
Support from celebrities not only helps mobilise financial assistance but also raises awareness of the disaster at the national level, encouraging more people to participate in relief initiatives.
