Guwahati: Peasants' group Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS) on Monday alleged that the devastating floods in Upper Assam districts were "man-made" as they result from a nexus between coal-stone mafias and influential political leaders, and demanded a CBI inquiry into the disaster.
Addressing a press conference here, KMSS general secretary Bidyut Saikia said the latest wave of floods cannot be dismissed as just cloudbursts or rainwater from neighbouring states.
