The Assam government will begin its final assessment of flood-related losses to pave the way for compensating affected families, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced. With road connectivity now restored across all previously isolated flood-hit regions, state administration teams are able to directly reach every locality to oversee rehabilitation.
Alongside the assessment, Chief Minister Sarma issued a strict warning against individual and organizational fundraising for flood relief, directing local law enforcement to monitor and stop public donation drives.
