The Central and Assam governments are extending support for relief, rehabilitation and medical assistance as authorities work to ensure essential services reach affected people. The scale of the deaths and widespread flooding underlines the difficult task facing authorities as relief efforts continue across several districts.
Chhattisgarh Announces Aid
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai has announced financial assistance of Rs 5 crore from the state government for people affected by the Assam floods.
Sai also spoke to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma over the phone and took stock of the flood situation. The assistance is expected to support ongoing relief and rehabilitation efforts in flood-hit areas.
Jorhat Also Hit Hard
In Jorhat district, around 1.66 lakh people across 304 villages have been affected. The floods have claimed nine lives in the district, while agriculture and livestock have also suffered significant losses.

With villages inundated, lives lost, and agriculture and livestock affected, the impact of the floods goes beyond the immediate challenge of moving people to safety. Rehabilitation is likely to remain a major concern even after water levels recede.
