Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced on Thursday that the state government is set to initiate a comprehensive assessment of flood-related losses across the region starting Friday. This evaluation process is intended to facilitate the distribution of compensation to families impacted by the recent flooding.

As part of the state's relief strategy, the government has stated it will monitor the collection of flood relief funds at an individual level. The administration aims to oversee how these funds are gathered and distributed, suggesting a move toward tighter regulation of aid efforts. While the government has emphasized the necessity of this oversight to ensure transparency and direct support for those in need, the announcement marks a shift in how relief resources will be managed compared to previous disaster responses.

The assessment process is expected to provide the data required to determine the scale of financial assistance needed for recovery. By focusing on individual collections, the state government intends to prevent mismanagement and ensure that aid is delivered efficiently to the households that suffered the most significant losses during the flood event. The government has not yet released specific details on the methodology for this monitoring or the criteria for individual eligibility for compensation, but officials indicated that the process will begin immediately following the assessment phase.
