Seven back-to-back earthquakes jolted Assam and some other northeastern states on Wednesday morning, causing extensive damage to buildings and forcing people to scamper out of their homes.

"My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Assam. Covid crisis in the state will be compounded by the earthquake, making it difficult for help to reach the affected," Gandhi said on Telegram.

"We stand in solidarity with you in these testing times," he also said.

"I appeal to Congress workers across the state to be at the forefront in rescue and relief efforts," he added.
