This natural calamity can be curbed only by using scientific methods. He further said, �For this, a coordination committee of all the departments has already been set up. Here experts will not only study the main reasons of flood, but will also coordinate with the neighbouring states and countries like China and Bhutan, to find out some solution to floods in Assam�.
