Overview
- The death toll reached 68 after two more fatalities were reported on Sunday, and the Assam State Disaster Management Authority says about 5.24 lakh people remain affected across Charaideo, Golaghat, Jorhat, Nagaon and Sivasagar districts.
- Large multi‑agency rescue efforts by the Indian Army, Indian Air Force, NDRF and SDRF have moved to relief and recovery operations with 354 relief camps sheltering roughly 37,700 people and revised airdrops and family relief kits being distributed.
- Floodwaters have begun to recede in many areas but key rivers — the Dikhow at Sivasagar and the Dhansiri at Numaligarh — are still above danger levels and several pockets remain inaccessible for full surveys.
- Authorities report extensive losses to agriculture and infrastructure with about 48,742 hectares of crop area damaged, hundreds of submerged villages and significant harm to embankments, roads, bridges, rail lines and livestock.
- Officials expect a phased rehabilitation led by state ministers after the assembly session, guided by a central damage‑assessment team whose findings will shape restoration funding, power repairs and longer‑term rebuilding plans; recurring monsoon floods mean recovery will affect livelihoods for months.
