The flood situation in Assam showed encouraging signs of improvement on Tuesday, with water levels receding across several districts and no fresh fatalities reported. The total death toll from the current wave of floods remains at 68, with no individuals reported missing, according to an official bulletin.

Official figures indicate that the number of affected people dropped to 4.45 lakh across six districts, down from over 5.24 lakh reported on Sunday. The impacted regions include Charaideo, Sivasagar, Jorhat, Golaghat, Nagaon, and Kamrup (Metropolitan). Charaideo remains the worst-hit district with 1.88 lakh affected residents, followed by Sivasagar with 1.44 lakh and Jorhat with 74,458.

Although water levels are generally falling, the Dhansiri (S) river continues to flow above the danger mark at Numaligarh in Golaghat district. A total crop area of 37,139.52 hectares remains submerged, alongside widespread structural damage to houses, roads, and key infrastructure across affected zones.

Relief and rescue measures are ongoing on a large scale. Personnel from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), and civil defence are actively conducting operations. Currently, 90 relief camps are accommodating 28,695 displaced citizens, supported by 94 operational relief distribution centres.

To assess the flood damage in Upper Assam, a five-member central delegation led by Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) Joint Secretary M. Ramachandrudu visited Sivasagar on Monday. Accompanied by state ministers Keshab Mahanta and Bimal Borah along with local officials, the team reviewed the ground situation in the state's eastern regions.

Meanwhile, the state administration has shifted focus toward post-flood recovery and public health. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma shared on social media late Monday evening that power restoration is progressing steadily, noting a 25 per cent reduction in unpowered households as waters recede. Furthermore, health authorities have initiated disinfection and fogging drives across inundated villages to prevent the outbreak of vector-borne and waterborne diseases.

Addressing sanitation concerns, Water Resources Minister Susanta Borgohain stated that authorities are carrying out scientific burials for livestock killed in the deluge. He highlighted this as a crucial step to prevent water contamination and protect public health during the recovery phase.
